Any show that is ripped from a silver disc properly goes onto DVD. I just keep a queue of discs, and when I reach 4.7GB I burn a DVD. Everything else stays on my hard drive (I have 500GB of storage space and so far that's enough for everything I have).

As for trades of audio CDs, that's probably the best thing you can do. I don't trade for audio CDs personally (the issue of mailing, and the fact that the lineage is unknown and few people know how to rip and burn properly), but it seems the best way to store those would be to make your own lossless files.
