I like the plastic storage boxes. They come in all styles and sizes.
Sterilite is one of the popular brands, and their products are readily available in Target, Home Depot, WalMart, Lowes, Staples, etc. etc.
Since we bought the Cougar which has a huge pass-through basement, I've been buying their "Ultra" series. They stack and have clips to hold the lids on securely. The clear plastic makes it super easy to find things, too.
Sterilite makes the RubberMaid line of storage containers, too.
