Measure them carefully with a micrometer and compare your measurements to those of a new piston so you know if the skirts are worn or collapsed. Obvious scoring (scratches/gouges) disqualify them. Ring land clearance is also important so measure that too. Some other things to think about are wrist pin clearance and cracks.
New cylinders generally come with pistons/rings, and are not that expensive so why bother unless you are building an engine out of a bunch of left over parts.
