A new stove comes without a cord. You have to buy the cord when you buy the stove. You buy whichever one matches the outlet in your house. The 3 prong was the old standard, but if that is what is there, you can continue to use it. It works just fine and is safe. The 4 prong is the current standard.

A professional installer WILL NOT reuse your old cord. Too much liability if it is defective/damaged. He will only use a new one. If you are installing yourself, do what you want.
