More stupid keg questions from me, sorry.

I don't currently own any beer line cleaner. I feel like I will definitely want to correct this in the near future.

How often should you clean your beer lines/faucets? Any tricks or tips to reduce the effort involved? I'm assuming that I should, in fact, use beer line cleaner and not PBW or the like, right?

I clean the line every time I swap the keg out. I use BLC, but you could also use PBW. If you're really anal you can also follow by cycling acid cleaner (e.g. SaniClean) too.

I use BLC every 6 months or so, but I have PET lined lines, so they don't really get 'dirty' like vinyl lines do. I run water then Star-San back through afterwards.
