All, TBO is an advertising claim and nothing more. It doesn't matter who makes it, what they set it at, or anything else. Sometimes they make sense, other times they are ridiculous. Has anybody ever made the 1000 hours that Hirth claims? There is only one service directive that MUST be complied with and that is an Airworthiness Directive (AD) issued by the FAA. Even then you are allowed to find an alternate method of compliance (AMOC) if you can prove that it accomplishes the intent of the AD. Every other recommendation, and that is all they are, by a manufacturer is advisory in nature.
I've attached Mike Busch's excellent article from the December 2011 issue of "Sport Aviation" that covers the subject quite well. Thanks to SA for allowing its republication here. All copyright and ownership of the article are theirs.

"Safety Directives" from the company are also mandatory if they are a flight safety issue. So AD's from the FAA and SD's from the Mfg are mandatory.
SB's, SA's and SI's are not compulsory even if they have mandatory stamped on them, but you'd be wise to heed them.
Some Mfg's don't seem to understand the difference between an SB or an SD.

Since we are on the subject of ADs and SDs... are these REQUIRED for experimental (non-certified) aircraft or are they only required when the engine is installed on Certified Aircraft (ie. Cessnas, Pipers, etc.)?

Experimental's are usually exempt, unless the FAA AD makes it a flight safety issue.
