After honing the cylinder the least you could do is install new rings. Once you are that deep into an engine rings are cheap, I would question reusing the pistons unless they just looked good and measured out to spec.
As to the old rings seating - depends on their condition and what the engine has gone through. As mentioned below if the engine has been run hot (reason for the the cylinder glaze) the rings are probably pretty marginal. If they show obvious wear and the end gap isn't coming out right replace them. If they still have the correct tension and the rings were measured correctly when new (fair assumption if the engine has never been opened up) the end gap should be correct - if its too narrow then the springs have lost their tension and it will probably start burning oil after a few hours - if not immediately.
