My K5 has the factory oil cooler and it leaks.Do I really need it?Is it valuable enough to justify the cost of new high pressure hoses?

Find a shop that makes hydraulic hoses. They can replace the rubber lines for ya. The $h!t that GM will sell you will just leak again soon. 
I bought new lines from GM for my S-10 ($90! 
). They were leaking within a year.
I had the lines on our Suburban "fixed" at a hydraulic place ( $30
) and they haven't leaked AT ALL in over 2 years.

So they are worth fixin then?Thats what I was gonna do if I did it,there is a hydraulic hose place close by.
Yep, just remove the hoses and drop them off at the shop. Mine were done in about 2 hours and cost about 20% of what GM wanted for new ones that would just leak again.
