Usually only makes sense to reuse spokes if you're going to replace a rim with the identical model rim, especially on a rear wheel. Rims have different values of what's known as ERD, or Effective Rim Diameter, and this affects the length of spoke you need. I'd also be inclined to replace spokes if I wasn't sure of their history.
