If one leaks or has bad seals, chances are that the other is in almost the same condition.
Replace both and the soft hose (if it has not been already replaced).
Otherwise, you will just be replacing the either the slave or the master soon anyway even if you don't do it now.

Either way, I'd just replace everything. You can get a new master and slave cylinder from mazdatrix, along with a nice steel braided clutch line. Installation is quick and easy, and all the parts will cost around $120.
