Default New head bolts for head gasket

I know the response is mixed, but looking input on reusing or buying new. Think head gasket is gone due to high mileage in an 95ex, sure mileage is over 200 drove like a beauty till the other day when overflow steamed and it ran hot. Which one do you guys do when your headgasket goes? Not boosted just typical I/H/E..

Where this is just a daily driver with bolt-ons, there would be no issues in reusing the bolts. I reuse them all the time. They are not torque to yield and the final tq spec is only 72.3lb-ft. That's not a lot of stress on a bolt of this size and design.
