I've always bought what I need when I need it. Mine usually requires
replacement every 2-3 years.

I've never seen *really* cheap replacement cable housing- most of what
I've bought has been standard Shimano housing. I've never felt the need to
"upgrade". If you want, it's available in bulk quantities:

Of course, you could take the opportunity to further customize your bike:
