James, I have pelican cases from 1988 through the present, the foam in those generated minimal debris and does not disintegrate into dust. The cases do not travel, so there is no mechanical wear on the foam. I do vacuum the foam before first use and occasionally after that, have found a couple of foam pieces that do shed, those I trash.
My very first Pelican case with lenses in it since 1988 has remained clean with the occasional blowout and vacuum.
I will consider a bag holding the lens inside the case, could be as simple as a Ziploc, but not sure it creates haze. There are long term storage Ziplocs
Best storage are those Nikon plastic bubbles, but they only come in a few sizes.

Rafael,
Even your Nikon bubble cases are in great shape. I use to have hard cases with foam, but the foam began to break down and turn into powder. Then I moved onto large roller cases that had stiff cloth covered dividers - and I am still there. I have each lens in a draw string neoprene bag, but there are at least half a dozen out at all times. I do have a pancake compressor next to my light table, but my environment is so dusty compared to the commercial space I had before. Use to have an air filter somewhere around here....
