I do not know about metal and carbon boards. In truth, I do not know how long glass boards last, either: I have glass boards that still have camber and life in them after 200+ days. I think with a glass board you will use up the edges before the board gives up.

I've been om metal boards for several years, and even more on glass boards, and even befor ethat with some other materials :)
I'm riding nowadays bout 50+ days per year, earlier 100+days, and i would say that these new boads easily run out of edges before they are dead.
Titanal ones i've been riding 100+ days and they are still good shape after that.
