Default Can I reuse the stock GM head gasket?

I have a new L92 that I'm working on. From what I understand, it's never been fired (unless of course when it was being built). I recently did a cam swap and took the heads off to degree the cam. When I was taking the heads off, the head gasket got bent a little bit. It was easily straightened out. I plan on getting a set of ARP head bolts to replace the stock bolts. Should I also replace the head gaskets or can I just reuse them. I've found some guys that recommend using the copper gasket spray and put them back on. I really don't want to have to replace them unless I have to. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
