If they are in use them. If you want to replace them see if you can get a line on some purple hart maple from South America. It would be quite reasonable with the higher US dollar but not free as a hydro pole would be.

The piers the board walk in Atlantic city are made with are made with this wood and it will last forever. There is a bunch in Florida as well.

Cheers Don.
