As far as the spider goes, I'd replace them both at the same time and use all new hardware; bolts, washers and nuts.
I cheaped out and reused the old hardware the last time I replaced the u-joints. It didn't hold torque and finally let go and my rear drive shaft fell off!
I'd take it to a drive line shop to check for runout and balance too
