Maybe with the keys encrypted and split to redundant pieces (n of m) and store them at various locations.
That should be the safest option, IMHO.

Many paper wallets.

I'd split between coinbase, bter, and bitfinex.
I'd also store maybe about 20% in hard wallet on my computer/usb. I consider this, personally to be my biggest risk as I'm much more likely to lose my computer/usb stick to something stupid than something going on online.
That's just me though.
These are all very bad places to keep your bitcoin. If you kept your money in any of the above places you would be trusting that a third party would not run away with your bitcoin. This is against the principles of bitcoin and keeping your bitcoin safe. The whole point of using the network as a ledger is that you do not have to trust some other person to keep track of your balance or how much money you have.

Agreed.
Bitcoin allows you the opportunity to exercise personal responsibility for your money. If you entrust your BTC with a third-party service provider -- even if it's a well-established entity such as Coinbase, Blockchain.info, etc. -- and you lose your money, you can only blame yourself at that point.

Use multiple paper wallets. Have maybe at most 5 BTC in each. Make sure there is atleast 2 copies of each wallet.
lol
under patriot act the govt can look and remove your safe deposit box and not even notify you
On storing 100+ btc , depends on your personal/familiy situation and how /when you need to use the btc again but sounds like mosts of the others told you what to do .....
Banks have good security measure, you can store your USB key in their storage box, like twins did

It will be almost impossible to get you BTC on a paper wallet.
(I'm really waiting for hardware wallets )

Just get a Trezor. Does it get any better than this for offline hard storage?
Offline Armory on tiny computer among a pile of PC junk in the house, m-of-n paper backup stored in different physical locations, all coins split among many addresses in the wallet to hide total wallet amount.
Put a paper wallet inside a vacuum sealed bag and store it inside a full colostomy bag at your grandmothers nursing home.
Is the question how I would store it, or is it what the proper way to store it is?
They're not necessarily the same thing
. Lots of people store 100 btc at various exchanges. That's not a good idea, but people are lazy.

I will never store 100 bitcoins in digital form, I will exchange to cash as soon as possible, too much risk.
Not so fearless. :-)

If i had 100 btc more
I will fill in 1 BTC for each address and some I will keep it in wallet offline
For offline wallet I prefer multibit and electrum

This is a pain in the ass. They should come up with a better way. Sometimes I think Monero is the future.

Use an offine wallet, and access it when you are sure your pc is safe. Use a virtual on screen keyboard too. Keep your antivirus updated. Have a good firewall.

Make mutiple wallets and store 5-10 btc max in each wallet. Enable login from a limited IP range only, with 2 step authentication..
You will never have to worry about BTC again)

I would split them into twenty USB pendrives and make some cold storage wallets, then I will bury the USB sticks into my garden.
