After a lot of thinking, I've concluded that the best way to store my kit safely is in hard foam lined cases. Some of these produced by "famous name" companies are really expensive, but I've just bought two of these and am very happy with them
The image here is one of mine, I'm part way through filling it with my bigger lenses. To give an idea of capacity, the lens top left is the Sigma 100 - 400 C, the bottom right is the Canon 200 mm L II. The other case will hold my bigger bodies and some more lenses. I have an old aluminium case I was given 25 years ago, I've replaced the foam (from the same supplier) and it now holds the 100d, 200d and all the EF-S fitting lenses. The cases sit on deep shelves and are easy to take out to select "kit for the day".
At £25 each I reckon these are a very good buy, I'd be happy to stand on one if I had to. For travelling, you can fit small padlocks for extra security. They do come with shoulder straps, but I doubt if I'll use them.
