Sharpen them. I've rotated 2 sets of blades for over 10 years with no issues. R and R Sharpening in Edmonton does a great job.

What brand of auger? Depending on model, Jiffy sells a sharpening stone which works really well. BEL

Foothills sharpening. The guys always do a top-shelf job and the price is right. I love how they wax them for protection.

This set just came back from there.

Sharpen. The river I fish is full of silt and will dull a blade quickly. For a touch up I use a file or sandpaper, if I hit a rock I use a grinder. As long as you sharpen each blade equally and don't mess up the angle too much you are good to go. YMMV.
