I've always kept my stuff in toolboxes, but every couple decades I have to rearrange everything as the collection grows. Two years ago I added an additional roller toolbox and still don't have the ability to think of a tool and automatically open the right drawer in the right box like I did for the previous 20 years. About to build an 800-sq foot garage and want to figure out tool storage as I build. Although I lean heavily toward toolboxes, pegboard is also a possibility.
Pegboard people seem to really like that method for things used most often--box wrenches and the like. I've also seen some nice use of mag strips to hold things like pliers in plain view. And for sockets, you can have them contained in a holder that hangs from a board. The Japanese are really big on having toolsets in plain sight, with outlines of tools marked and such. Part of their lean manufacturing and 5S philosophy.
