I would probably do at least the rings and sleeves, and otherwise sorta go with the flow... do you have a plastigauge kit? That should help you diagnose the crank.

Also, and this is more of a question for everyone else, if the rings/sleeves aren't being replaced, do you need to keep pistons matched with the cylinders they came from? And similarly, do you need to keep the rods associated with their crank lobes? I would think that the answer to the first question is yes, but I'm not sure about the second part...
