Here's a decent link that I found useful before I bought my Bentley Service Manual:

Basically, IMHO, if you feel the slightest bit uncomfortable with reusing the old hardware, it may be best for you to just purchase new ones....that way, you can ease your mind and not worry about it later on.
Anyway, I don't agree that the "OEM brake pads are crap". I just don't like how much brake dust they produce.
