Depends on the threat model and how long do you need the data.
Worked on a place long ago, that anything they needed to save offline from more than a few decades where stored in microfilm, the expectancy there where they would last 80 to 100 years.
Anything else was pretty much tape.
You also take in account the technology avaiability. The more complex is to use, harder will it be to reproduce in the future. Even with tapes, you might want to copy the data to another tape/recorder every decade or two, to keep it on par with the technology.
I etch my data only metal slabs. The longevity is great, but the bits per pound is rough.
Just make sure you dont use sub-standard copper. Future generations thank you
