I have a stand for my electric that stay on it constantly.. A hard case for my acoustic .. So far I've never had a problem..
Never lay on the floor. It could get stepped on.
Don't lean it against something.. It could fall.
Don't hang/store on parimeter wall or near air ducts. Do not store in extremely dry or damp areas..
I personally like the stand best.. I easy to see and grab..
That my learning on guitar storage..
