rebuilding, what to do for gaskets?

rotaryaviation sells a kit for 110 bucks or so with intake gaskets, mine are pretty well shot, I can reuse the turbo manifold gasket, but I'd still have to buy an oilpan gasket and the coolant o rings for the front cover, I'm seriously considering buying the o-rings and using gasket in a tube for the U and L manifold, front cover, and oilpan.
Is it stupid to cheap out after all this work?
100 bucks is a lot for something like 3 gaskets...

Sure, it works.
The only thing that requires a paper gasket is the oil outlet off the turbo.

that one is still good, I was thinking of re-using it, probably not a good idea considering its location
