Replace Electronics When Swapping Pickups?

Swapping the pickups on a Korean guitar - do you think it's a good idea to replace the selector switch and jack socket to Switchcraft ones while I'm doing that or would it be better just to save the money and only replace them if they break down the line?

If you’re swapping pickups then it’s worth swapping pots and capacitors as well. I’ve several times swapped dull sounding pickups, and discovered that part of the problem was faulty pots or capacitors.

I wouldn’t bother changing switches or sockets unless they’re noisy.
