Reuse metal gasket on LIM?

I recently removed my LIM to find the gasket in great condition. Given the usual reputation of them to get stuck to the block, I was wondering if mine was in good enough condition to reuse. I can cut a new paper one and use a small amount of black RTV as an alternate, just wondering.

Reuse the metal, replace the paper. Just buy the gaskets premade.
