I've always been a firm beleiver that you should always replace your head gasket after its been used, however I have seen beau reuse his stock b16a headgasket like 3 times and it has never blown out on him. The first time I reused a headgasket it blew 3 days later, but it probably could of been because it wasnt tuned that great. Since then I have tried re-using a head gasket on a stock D16z6 and it worked just fine.
So I say, its kinda iffy... sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt |

whats an extra $65 to ensure you wont have to go through all of the time and extra money if it DOES in fact blow,cheap insurance if you ask me.
