I'd replace, but until you take it apart, you don't know the wear condition. when I changed my clutch I did get one, but upon taking it apart I got to inspect the pilot bearing and saw a perfectly fine bearing with still a good amount of factory grease in it and little to no wear. Comparing it to the new pilot bearing in hand, couldn't tell it had 60k miles.
I replaced it anyways.

If it wasn't causing you any problems to begin with, it'd probably last 250K miles. But, at 95K...you've already gone through the assache of pulling everything apart...it's so cheap and easy, why not?
