Kim, As a general principle, I always replace all nuts, bolts, bushes and seals with new whenever I replace any part on my car. At the very least you are replacing a potentially worn, fatigued, and rusty nut/bolt with a shiny new one, at worst you may damage the threads or have to cut the old bolt out if it is seized or badly rusty, or you may damamge the thread, so then they would have to be replaced with new. Also they do up much easier when they are new! This not only makes assembly easier, but is important for achieving the correct torque setting when tightening.
While you have the differential out, this may also be a good time to replace the universal joints in your half-shafts.
