I have bottled 35 batches with the same bottling bucket.
Having been through hell with 5 straight bottle side infections and knowing what I believe is the only thing that can cause it - the bottling bucket, I have a new personal rule.
I will only use the bucket for 20 brews. Even being careful it can get a micro scratch and since the bucket is basically soft plastic!
someone mentioned "If you have used the bucket for 35 batches it's time for a new bucket". I agree.
This will cost me an additional 1 penny per bottle but I feel this insurance will be worth it.

Don't even mention kegging unless you have an inexpensive way to keep 8 to 10 styles cold and portable.
