In general I trust the older tech more than newer for long-term archiving. So that would mean HDD (the oldest tech thereof you can find still sold, probably) or tape or DVD over SSD.

But multiple copies in multiple formats cannot hurt, and the most important stuff should have multiple live copies.

it really depends on the format. pressed DVDs will outlast your VHS tapes
