it would depend on
what the mix is
how long your going for
i use a nut mix that i take out of the freezer the day before and them sweat up a bit, if i use fishmeal, i keep frozen or at least as cool as possible whilst on the bank

I spoke to Jason at DNA about this a while ago and he advised to see DNA shelf life as short shelf as opposed to what I was used to, meaning of old they'd probably last forever. I believe a few bait firms are now stating short shelf which I assume means they have vastly reduced preservative or none at all (just dried out more).
Given that and the good feedback on the forum re DNA and other shelfs I'd say stick to the shelf life boilies. I used to do the same as you when I returned to fishing after a 4 year break, mainly Dynamite BNC, I'd use that bait again in a shot if it was available even though I use freezer baits on the whole now.

I must admit I have been a fan of freezer bait for many years but this year I have swapped from freezer to shelf - same bait, same size just shelf and not freezerbait.
I'm using CC Moore Pacific Tuna and I have had some really nice results and what convinced me to change was a review here https://www.ccmoore.com/bait-blog/shelf-life-vs-freezer-bait/
So I just bought 20kg shelf life, I'm not expecting any difference in results just more space in my freezer.
