Wet like Steph's jumper, or dry like Doc River's voice

So I just scored about 50 lbs of Pukani rock. Half a dozen large basketball size pieces, and about 10 or so medium and small pieces. The previous reefer that owned them was kind enough to leave them submerged in tank water before I was able to pick them up. They spent two days in bins without heat and flow.

I probably won't use these until I find the space and time to set up a large tank. Question is, should I just let them dry out, or keep them wet in a holding bin (with heat and flow) until I use them (could be a couple of years).

Fully cured wet rock is easier to start a tank with as it'll have bacteria already. Dry rock is easier to store if it may take a year or so.
