20 - 22C is fine, though a little cooler would be even better for lager (and ales).

Plastic and glass are both OK, though if using glass make sure the bottles are strong enough - bottles used for bottle-conditioned commercial beers are the best, obviously, but most beer bottles are OK. If the bottles are clear or green, keep them out of the light to avoid skunking.

There have been discussions on here regarding plastic bottles being slightly permeable and therefore not suitable for long-term storage.
