I don't think it makes any difference. I have material in an archive, because someone wanted it to be there. I do not expect to have any control over the future, it will do whatever it wants to with my work, whether there's an archive or not. And no archive is safe: it could all be destroyed at any time. The power structure could ban any of us from being reprinted and chuck our archives out of the library as being unworthy of study because immoral or eurocentric or irreligious or whatever.

Whether your remains go into an archive and what's done with them when they're in there are other people's problems. You can only hope they know what they're doing. Maintained publication is much more important. PR
