You got the right idea Mac. Winter time, I have my big boat inflated (softly) and hanging from the rafters in the garage. The H3 and the Navigators are however, deflated and put in bags. I do a thorough cleaning of the tubes/toons then spray 303 on them and buff. Then store.
Waders and boot, if you have the space to hang them at all time, I think that is the best choice, but I don't think rolling them up in you climate is going to hurt.
I have the bags for waders and boots, but I generally only use them for travel.
Remember, you need to machine wash breathables once in a while to open the pores. Specially if you fish in Mossy or muddy places.
I have the same concern about storing tubes/toons folded, but I am assured from Dave himself, this doesn't hurt the Urethane bladders.
Also, in the spring, summer and fall months, you will find most guides just stow there waders and boots for long periods rolled up. I do know at the lodge however, they did rinse them off everyday.
