After the first change, you should be able to go 30-40k miles (or more) before it needs to be changed again. Diffs (and MTs) nearly always shed a lot of visible metal pieces during break-in but after that it slows WAY down. Time will probably be a bigger factor than actual wear. YMMV
But, as you say, it's a cheap and easy job. Absolutely nothing wrong with changing every 15k.
