S70 struts

I have a 98 S70 N.A. with 280K miles.

My struts are either original or were before it hit 100k (when I bought it). The don't seem to be blown, maybe a very slight leak of fluid out of one of them. And I don't seem to have any issues with the spring seat clunking.

I am about to replace the worn control arms and end links and since I will have to get an alignment, should I seriously consider replacing the struts and the spring seats? or will they likely last a while still?

Also, what should I replace with the struts? the spring seats and the mounts? anything else? seems like a lot of different parts that are called different things depending on who is talking.

thanks.
