Straw or pine shavings in coop?

I use sand in both the run and the coop. I actually use more sand in the coop than the run because of the dirt in the run, I don't think they need as much out there but it is there. Just not as deep.

We've been using pine shavings for several years and while it is messy,I've found nothing that works quite as well. We use a modified deep litter and a poop board under the roost. The poop board gets cleaned daily and the shavings get changed about 4-6 times a year and we have no smell or other problems. 

So you change the shavings every 2 months or so? Do you spot clean or anything in between changes? How deep are your shavings?
