I have the Becker books from 2018 Sep.
Should I buy new ones for 2020?

You should. REG and FAR will definitely have a large number of changes.

BEC and AUD won't be as material but will definitely have updates. Sometimes 1 question is the difference and it would suck to not know what a critical audit matter is (for example).

Replacement books are something around $25 apiece. It's not a huge price all things considered. Personally I would either replace yours or just use the digital textbook on the online course (which will be up to date). Reg will certainly need to be replaced – your textbook is probably pre-TCJA. I would only order one section's replacement at a time though – more updates are coming this summer and then in December.

Buy the new stuff. The books/tested material has changed a lot.

No way. Just took BEC last week with a book from 2017. Nothing was “out of the blue” unfamiliar. Don't listen to anyone else.
