Outside shrinkwrapped is better unless you have a garage to store it in. Most marina dry rack buildings are metal buildings with condensation problems. Plus the pigeons and other birds not to mention the diesel forklift exhaust covering everything. But it must be shrink wrapped correctly, vented properly and not just tied so it can chaff the side of the boat. A climate controlled garage is the best bet.

If you have access to indoor storage in a well insulated and dry place there is no doubt in my mind that I would store it inside. It does not matter if the inside storage is not heated. The main thing is that it is dry and if insulated the temperature variations will be minimal.
