On Dynamic Range, from what i recal in my reading, Negatic Film has a much higher dynamic range than digital sensors (something like 11 stops vs 5). That's why it's so hard to get the right exposure for scenic shots and the like. Slide film ont he other hand has close to the same dynamic range.
As for Storage, i would not trust my photos to Optical as an archive source.. maybe a back-up, but not my primary archive. Stick with RAIDs (or some other form of mirroring on hard drives. It is simple, fast, efficeint, and easy to move up, when you need more space.
