im going to probably buy some tygon b-44-4X beer line ($1/foot) and was wondering how long this should last me? I plan to clean it between every keg or 2.
 
As long as you flush the lines and clean with BLC I don't see why it won't last you for quite a long time.
 
Total lifespan of the tubing assuming its taken care of by regular cleaning
 
If you take good care of the lines I bet they will outlive you....or at least your liver ;)
 
a 100 foot roll sets you back like $0.2 per foot. almost cheaper to replace the lines every year than to use blc... unless you rinse well then with blc then starsan. that way you could save the blc as you can starsan solution for many uses.
 
well the tygon is $1/foot so it might be worth the effort to clean. plus i HATE taking apart my tower
