Another consideration, related to Fred Grevin's comment, is longevity.
In my opinion, no digital record will remain reliably viable for more 
than 25 years unless extraordinary effort is expended.  Many will be 
obsolete before that mark.  Therefore, paper (or microform) may be the 
preferred medium.
