All of the lifters and the lifter carrier should be replaced if you want 100% reliability - especially if there was enough debris in the oil to cause the lifters to jam up.
While it is common to clean them up/re-use and take your chances, this practice is what caused my repeat engine failure after a full rebuild when the used lifters and used lifter carrier failed within several hundred miles after the rebuild.
Best of luck with the rebuild and keep us up to date on your progress!
