A drybox will need less maintenance. I live in Minnesota which has the climate of Siberia. High humidity is rarely a problem, so the Zeros should do just fine. I have color changing dessicant which I just baked into a nice shade of blue. In Japan, they have these little dessicant tubs about the size of a small R camera that somehow take moisture and turn it into a liquid that drips into the bottom half. Have you seen those? I've always wondered how they work. Apparently you should *never* spill the liquid inside because it will *never* evaporate. Odd.
