Can anyone share some feedback about how much maintenance these clutch based LSDs need?

I'm between the Mfactory 1.5W clutch (6 springs for about 60% preload) and diffsonline 35/60 3 clutch. Really want a clutch based LSD for predictablity but don't want to have to rebuild it every year. Frequent oil changes I'm good with.

I've emailed a few venders but still don't have a good idea how often plates and springs need to be replaced. I completely understand this all depends on usage but just looking for a general idea of what to expect. Also is there a big difference in maintenance intervals between street friendly clutch LSD setups?

6-8 HPDE per summer and light street use. 5-7k miles per year, no drifting. I'm very easy on the car to be honest.
