I have replaced rod bearings on two separate cars with 130K+ miles on them. Both times I was sorry that I wasted the effort, but I felt that while I was there........well you know.
The original rod bearings had very little to no wear as I pulled them to inspect them. There is just something about putting a used part back like that into an engine that just never felt right to me, so I replaced them. If I were you, I would not worry about the engine lower internals and concentrate specifically on the upper end.
Caveat: If you've been having any specific problems or concerns with the lower internals of the engine, then by all means. Otherwise, I say leave it alone.
