Is SSD always worse for long term storage vs HDD?

I have seen that SSD storage needs electricity, in order to not lose data, so: If a Linux system with an UPS, that works as a NAS that runs 24/7 existed, and the data would be only written 1-10 times, the "full" capacity of the each physical drive, so TBW wouldn't be an issue, with, a Raid 1 consisting of 4 drives used for 4k videos, and after a few years for 8k videos, would It be better to use SSDs or HDDs for this purpose with unlimited money and wanting a "no need to modify me for an eternity system"? With equal parts, would the HDDs system be more or less reliable than the SSDs system?
