It's mostly opinion on this one. I had my intake manifolds off at least 10 times without any leakage issues.
Every 15K for cleaning and every time I decided to change injector sizes.
As long as the o-rings are pliable and not broken, you can re-use them. The bolt and rubber insert assemblies that hold the upper manifold down prevent crushing the gaskets to far. The lower ones have steel inserts to keep them from being crushed.
Its $25-$35 for a set that you can easily save until later.
