For me I like those 6qt. sterite boxes you can get from places like Wal-Mart. They are tough and they are cheap and they stack, and are relatively vermin proof.
Individual items go inside ziploc freezer bags which go inside the sterite boxes.
Any chest type box I have ever tried to use soon ran out of space and the materials in the compartments would jump to other compartments making a mess.
I've got 10 of the 6qt. in use now and If I need more I'll run up to kmart and get some more, and stack the new ones on top of the old ones. I'll also pack reels, tippet material, etc. in these boxes for a safe trip in the duffle bag for a trip to the hills fishing. Same thing goes for fly tying material and tool forays, either on a fishing trip or to a buddies house for a fly tying get together. You can fit alot of stuff in one of those boxes!
