How necessary are new transmission pan bolts and other questions?

Going to change transmission pan / fluid on my 2007 530i. It has 150K miles, so I am trying to consider that when deciding how much to spend on various things I want to do. I realize there is debate over whether you should do this job on a high mileage vehicle that has never been done before (I think this will be a first for mine).



Here are my questions:



1) The bolts for the pan seems to add about $60 to $70 to the job. Is that really necessary, especially considering the car may only last another 50K miles? What happens if I try to reuse them, do they break?



2) As long as I am in there should I do the sealing sleeve? And is it easy?



3) I bought the ZF 6 fluid to do the change, is the correct? (I see that one site says ZF-5 or ZF-6 will work).



Any other advice?
