Sometimes they are reusable, but not all of the time. I personally always get new gaskets just for my personal peace of mind, but that doesn't mean it is any better or worse. Just make sure it is in decent condition and you should be able to re use it, but like I said for the peace of mind i would just replace it.

I would definately change them. Any mechanic would tell you the same thing. They're cheap and can usually be ordered from a dealership in a day. The exhaust manifold probably isnt as important as the intake manifold gasket but I would still change it to be safe.
