Another vote for "save until I print." I've been digiscrapping since 2004. That's a LOT of layouts! In the beginning I used to back my psds up on a DVD, but in years of doing that I went back to maybe 2 layouts. It wasn't worth the time or cost of increasing my storage capacity.
Here's why I do save until I print--sometimes as I'm putting a book together I notice I have an error that I want to fix, or I decide to make a second layout for the same event that's similar enough that I start with the first one instead of starting from scratch.
Most of my pages get scrapped and printed chronologically, so once I've printed them I won't revisit that time period. The one exception is vacation books--sometimes I'll use a page in our annual book and also want to use it or a variation of it for a vacation album to be scrapped later. In that case as soon as I finish the layout I copy the jpg and psd into a folder for the vacation book so that I have them if I decide to use them.
