I would absolutely replace them all with modern seals where possible. Like Bob said, if the old ones were so great there wouldn't be new.
Remember though, that the seal is only half the problem. You need to make sure your sealing surface is good too, or use a speedy-sleve where possible.
The only problem will be the pinion seal. I don't think there is a modern equivalent. You can however make or purchase an adapter to take a modern seal.
Charles Talbert at M-Series has them. Includes the adapter, seal, and sleve. They're drilled and tapped for a puller in case of future removal. Wouldn't be a hard piece to make if you had a lathe though. I might have the seal number he uses at home too.
