My reinstallations are usually about every 6 months or so. After a while, I just get bored with the distro. Like I will find one thing I don't like, and ditch it to take on another challenge. SuSE was never recent enough for me. LFS required too much upkeep. Slack wasn't arranged how I wanted it. I am currently on FreeBSD, following -current. I am sure I will move to something else in another 5 months or so.
Best,
