how often do I need to replace the mantles?

They can last years, depends on how you care for your gear. What destroys them are sudden jolts and vibration. I store/transport my lanterns in protective cases, always upright and where they cannot fall over, and resting on folded old towels to lessen travel vibration. If a mantle gets a hole replace it, as it will leak gas pressure and overheat.

Are these for propane or kerosene?

most likely propane it fits the following models:coleman lantern 200,201,214,220,275,282,285,286,290,295,5107,5114,5151,5152,5153,5154,5155,5157,5159,5172,5178,9950,9960

Is it true that these mantles put out less light than a standard mantle, because of the size difference? If so, roughly how much less light?

We had two 2 mantle lanterns on a recent camping trip with the clip on type and they were plenty bright to light up the whole camp spot I didn't notice a difference from my old style lantern with tie string mantles. I think the problem for some people is they don't mount the mantels correctly. Hope this helps

I have never seen these with the green plastic tab thing. What is the purpose of this tab? Is it an istallation aid?

thats exactly what it is, you put it on then the plastic tab thing is discarded.
