I simply replaced the gaskets with new OEM. I did use sealant and dressing. You don’t need to replace your valve covers unless they are warped or you can’t stand how they look or are worried the flaking factory coating inside will cause problems (I don’t think it will). I can understand that some shops would not want to warranty the seal on used valve covers, but I don’t use shops so it’s just my labor if I have to do a job twice.
