Default New Gasket or reuse old one?

Im puttin on my DC race header in a couple of days and it didnt come with a gasket that fits between the head and header. How many of you have put on a new gasket and how many of you have just reused the old one? whatr your thoughts.

You should never reuse a gasket. $12 is well worth it.
