High Pressure Power Steering Hose

High Pressure Power Steering Hose
I just picked up a high-pressure power steering hose from the wreckers which looked quite new. If I buy new copper gaskets, am I generally okay re-installing a used hose that is in good shape or is it one of those items that you should always buy new?
One thing I hate about wreckers is ****ing people coming up to you asking to borrow this tool and that tool.

u'll be fine with what u got from the wrecker. as long as it seems to be in good shape ur car won't leak P/S fluid. but in my case i would buy it brand new but i can c that sometimes that doesn't always happen so u gotta get with how much u have in ur pocket.

i would have rather used a hose from the junker, i am cheap.
but i ended up buying a new one for ~$80.
let me tell you, i wish i would have changed it sooner, all that fluid spewing out really did a number on the bushings on that side. bushings gone = click-clack/bad steering.
