Long term data storage

My brother in law had an interesting question yesterday. What is the best media for long term storage of large amounts of data? He writes music and produces his own CDs. He said he might end up with 20GB of data with all of the raw tracks and intermediate data.

This is too big for even a blu-ray disk.

So we have USB hard drives vs. Flash drives

Which would you choose and why? Or is there another tech?
