1.5 years and about 18k miles on the pressure plate and about 12k miles on the disc, I replaced that when I had the motor out this year. Do note the issue I had at Proving Grounds last summer, I am 100% certain that led to massively increased wear. The other disc that I took out (when I did the motor) looked minty fresh and had almost the same amount of launches on it from when I was at rock falls.

This HDG6 6-puck is about as beefy as it gets...rated at ~650tq and it is very very very driveable. Other options are twin and triple discs...the price goes through the roof and I haven't seen any real first-hand accounts of people using them for long periods of time and doing anything better than these 6-pucks that are 1/3 the price.
All in all I'm happy with what I got out of it. Like I said it probably would have made it through the summer so figure almost 30k miles and 40+ launches. Remember, the car makes 600hp and I don't exactly baby it.--this isn't a 200hp honda that I'd expect to get 150k miles out of the stock clutch.
Fun fact: check all your options! Turns out MAP had a freshly built Jack's tranny sitting in their shop that I could have put in my car and used mine as a core. Seriously what are the chances of that happening at the exact time that I need one? .5%? Why I didn't call every shop in town IDK...Shane was in hawaii and I just knew Ron could do any trans work in-house so it made the most sense I guess. My apologies to MAP and thank you for the info!
