Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

Re: What tapes stood the test of time best?

"...in some spots the high end came in and out as if it was partially erased from something..."

Sounds like this tape has come in contact with a magnetic field. No tapes no matter the format should be brought within 3-4 feet of a magnetic field, such as speakers, amplifiers, etc.

With proper storage and care magnetic tapes should not loose any noticeable high frequencies over time.
