I have seeds that literally have to be 30 years old or more. They've survived many moves, being in a storage unit all summer, all winter, many different containers from tupperware, to plastic bags, to tin boxes, to just being left on a tray for years on end. I still have almost 100% germination rate. I don't really see where there's a good or bad way to store them personally, as long as it's not actually in water.
