A reusable kit will pay for its self overtime compared to paying a camera store to do it for you.
When changing lenses, try to keep the camera body pointed down to avoid dust falling into the opening. Avoid dusty areas if possible when changing lenses. Keep both ends of you lenses clean (keeping the mounting end clean will help prevent dust transferring from the lens to the body). I change lenses frequently, and don't have many problems with just following those 3 "rules".
Hope that helps

You forgot another rule: Only change the lens while the camera is off to prevent an electrostatic charge to build on the sensor which will attract dust.
I have the AB724, I have the sensor wands, the delkin, the sensors swabs and even Canon's SCK-1. I use the AB724 most often for the easiest cleaning, but sometimes you get that welded dust and can't avoid the wet cleaning. That's when I often will use the Sensor Wand, Pec Pads and the Eclipse fluid. I would inspect it with the Delkin Sensor Scope and fire a few test shots at F/22 and done.
