I'm not sure what your budget is but if your like me you want something that complies to standards so it will be around, is cheap and effective. For this I would have to recommend an Ultrium tape backup drive. The drive is standards based (google it) and the tapes are dirt cheap a 200/400 gb tape pulls up for $55. If you figure (hardware compression) 250gb of storage per tape then it will cost just $.22/gigabyte.
The problem is that the drive itself is listing for about $2600, not exactly cheap but it's guaranteed to be backwards compatible with future lto standards and the media is as cheap as you could possible ask for.
One more thought, look into an LTO Gen 1 solution (100/200) for a cheap drive, cost per gigabyte is roughly the same, it will just take more swapping.
