Don't bother with a usb key. Flash memory is technically volatile, it just takes a while to blank. Unless you plug the key in every 5 to 10 years, it will start losing data. By the time the time capsule is unearthed, it will likely be blank or corrupted.

I wouldn't bother with the cdr or dvdr either, they're likely to be dead too in 30y.
