I tend to use things, everything, until they break! Or something markedly better comes along. I hope by then I got my money's worth! Then I donate, give it away, or sell it for a cheap price. Fortunately, photo gear is pretty mature. We're not seeing the giant gains in performance that we once were.
On my Pen-F I use a sling style strap. The one I use has a two point connection. One is kind of a safety net and isn't required. What I like is I can wear it under a jacket and it's easily pull it up to take the shot.
Knock on wood, but I only broke one lens and damaged a battery compartment door. The lens was an UW with a built in pedal hood. I dropped it and broke off the lower pedal. The lens still worked fine. Strangely, no one would fix it! On the camera after dropping it the piece of plastic that holds the spring busted. The camera door became manual. I just lived with it!
