spades store in a snaplid plastic box which gets swapped around to whichever canvas drill motor bag I'm using at the moment.
forstners are in a fitted plastic case, but that won't last too much longer as I already have a few odds ones out.
I can't do help much with larger bits, but at my school shop we have hundreds of regular bits, most in fairly common sizes, and have one of those 64 drawer plastic storage units. Each drawer is labeled with a bit or tap size.
I have a bench model drill press mounted on a movable bench. The bench has a shelf and a drawer. All my straight bits I store on the shelf in indexed plasic or metal boxes. The few extras I have are in the drawer. My spade bits are in the drawer. There are also some forstner bits & miscellany in the drawer. Have fun. Joe

for storage in the shop, I use a shop tacked-together 4 drawer cabinet... drawers are 12" wide and only about 8" deep..
for each drawer, i drilled 3/8" holes in a piece of 1x2" and then cut it down the middle, to make holders for them...
