How long will my stock clutch last under normal driving?
How many miles can I get from my stock clutch and what would be the best replacement when I do decide to swap it out?

I don't think you can classify normal driving but there are things that can help:
Rev match
Don't ride the clutch
time it to grab and give gas at the same time
Have your car running in tip top shape so your not slippin the clutch to keep it from boggin
I'm at 184K on the stock clutch on my 06', having said that, OEM for me.

133k miles, ~25 track days, original clutch.

It has little to do with miles and more to do with number of shifts. If you are powering around in the city with a lot of stop and go it will wear rapidly compared to highway driving where you can shift very seldom between stops.

I don't think there's such thing as "normal driving". High RPM launches wear a clutch out fast. And as cdelena says, if you don't shift you don't wear out your clutch.
I'm still on my OEM clutch with 199,000 miles......

Well that said I am a responsible driver and I even baby the car when I am driving, no launching. I do VTEC every once in a good while but don't stay into the throttle. My clutch feels good and I still only have 21k miles on my car but I have heard some guys on other cars than Honda's having to change them at very low mileages.
