I would definitely put my money on CD-ROM or other technology based on the
5" disc such as DVD or a holographic disc vs. any current magnetic media for
a long term storage solution.
I have never heard delaminating to ever be an expected problem with CDs. I
suppose if they were not made well, the lacquer on the label side could peel
in time, but the data is still imprinted. I would have to see research data
on this to believe it.
