I have the axle off the car. I am replacing the pinion oil seal as I can definitely see evidence of a leak. I am also do the rear plate seal.

Since the half shafts aren't bolted in at the moment and I can just pull them out. Should I do the half shaft seals while I am at it or leave well alone?

If the shafts are loose at the moment, it is only a few minutes work to replace the oil seals in the axle case, flip out and tap in, it would be silly not to! However, a tip from Mad Mart, which I have followed, is to use the seal sold for Sprint gearbox input shaft bearing as this works better than the correct one! Part number 141756 IIRC.
The hub grease seal is much harder to replace as it involves separating the hub from the shaft. Unless you have a ton of hub grease in your brakes I would leave this one alone!
