I tend to replace every time I replace the rotors, not every pad change. I also replace if the springs are "too easy" to put on. For standard brakes (1-piston, sliding caliper) I examine the Allen bolts the caliper slides on (guide bolt) and replace if there are any marks, rust or scratches. On fixed caliper brakes, I follow the same schedule for the springs and guide pins.
