When the heck do you replace a prop?

I will replace either my hub or my blades (Hartzell prop) when the
prop shop tells me the item can no longer be overhauled to spec.

Likely you will do it next year when the next AD comes out grounding
all Hartzell props made before 2000. Hartzell is actively lobbying the
FAA for this.

Are the Hartzell props of such poor quality that they won't last more than
8 years regardless of use and/or maintenance? If so, then its time to find
an alternative prop when this AD forces replacement of a Hartzell prop.
