My first choice would be a Sony SACD recorder with storage in SACD format. Quite expensive, but I would not use an expensive Sony playback device. Their early models (still available new on ebay) were designed to show how much better than regular CD the SACD format was. Means they really spent some time perfecting the circuits for SACD and then did a terrible job for CD's. My favorite is the DVP-NS755v for about $200.

All of the tape formats have drawbacks. Even a Nak has trouble with full orchestral performances. Not the signal recording but the print through problems. I have NAK tapes that are 15 years old and are almost unlistenable, even though they were recorded on 3M metafine tape. Reel to Reel is still the best format but the bulkiness and hassle of dealing with such a large format and the physical alignment wandering issues are always a concern. Having said that, I am currently rebuilding an Akai Model 8, using a motor platten from the last of that series that incorporates outer reel motors for tension, also am installing Sony 1/4 and 1/2 track heads, no recording ability, and refurbishing the tube preamp / amps into preamp only devices. All to play Barclay Crocker tapes of some of the finest musical evants ever recorded. But, I will be unable to record at all.

I have limited experiance with DAT but found the two I tried to be full of noise and jitter issues. These were made by Adat and Teac so perhaps there are others, but their PCM format is still early days red book and so of suspect ability.

A full size computer box using PCI buss Creative audio cards, NERO software, SCSI based Yamaha CD burner, etc. might just be the best way. I know people who can build incredible front ends for input control of signal, although, a very good transformer volume control from friend Thorstens highly regarded S&B people might be best.

Then you could open a not for profit subscription service, for equitment maintenance and media / time costs only, and provide copies to some of the goodsound club "inner sanctum" members and then we who have no access to live, FM broadcasts could join in your joy.......... yikes ..duck and run!!!!
