You may find "WATER RESISTANT", but will not find WATERPROOF.

I think you need to consider the storage conditions and then determine the 
best type of shelving to use in the environment, and if there IS NO EXISTING 
environment and you intend to build one specifically for housing records, 
then there are steps you may want to take to design a space that may meet 
your needs.

You could, for example, build a 6 sided vault that is protected by a fire 
suppression system which if constructed on an upper floor of a building that 
is outside of known flood plains, would essentially be a "waterproof" 
environment, irrespective of what type of shelving you install.

As far as identifying "the best", again, this depends on your volumes, usage 
patterns, frequency of access, staff size, and the configuration and types 
of media you are storing.
