When changing diff centers, what shims do i use? Do i use the one from the old center, or use the ones that i pulled out with the new center?

No! You have to get the shims right so the gear clearance is right!

When I did my diff gear change it had to get shimmed up, if you stuff up on the shim you wont get the correct amount of backlash and preload on the pinnion
