70% ethanol is the best solution for any kind of long term post-fixation storage of tissue samples. Tissues can be left in it essentially indefinitely. PBS has no preservative properties, doesn't prevent growth of microorganisms, and should be used for short term storage only, and then only with refrigeration.
