Firmly in the restarter camp!
I stick with the same sims for years, but not with the same save. Thing is, I have my cast, that I like and whom I want to follow through their ups and downs. I'm not interested in seeing them die and get replaced by a new generation, so I usually play my sims for at most twenty story years before I start over with the same characters, but in a different timeline. Sometimes I just change their jobs, other times they get to experience a drastically different setting (like historical or occult). I'm learning a lot about my characters by throwing various living circumstances at them.
I usually stop with a save when I feel the story has concluded, vague as that sounds. For challenges there is a clear goal (like reaching Oregon or a certain amount of time has passed before tallying up the points), so that's easier.
Looking through my screenshots, I seem to keep a save for up to two months.
Meanwhile my sims are with me for eight years (Renegades), six years (Detroit) and one year (Star Wars) now.
