Archival is more of a process than only a question of media. First you must create a proper database of your archived data. Maybe you want to do 3 copies, not two. Maybe you want to use two different archival formats such as tar and LTFS, just in case. Maybe you want to source your media from both available producers (Sony and Fuji) because in the long run, maybe one or the other may grow some funky error mode or corruption problem. Etc.
