Whatever you do, you're going to have to dry your filament if you don't use it within a month of opening it. I used to like the tweaking, but once I got a Bambu P1S, I've gotten spoiled just being able to hit print and let it go.

same applies for those, i was using PLA as an example as its more hygroscopic.

not that it's hard to store a spool of filament in a plastic bin
