CD-R, if you get the right dye material (the gold) will last a lot longer than CD-RW since it doesn't have to be erased. Always use the disks with the gold-colored back, not the blue-green cheapies. DVD-R will be even better, on the order of 100 years. I archive all my digital files, graphics, production archives, to CD-R. Adam
