My last order from Victory included a seed storing guide. I can't say that I totally agree with all of it but it's just a guideline.
Short lived seeds (1-2 years): Corn, onion, parlsey, parnip, pepper (I've seen that okra seed doesn't keep very long either)
Intermediate seeds (3-4 years): Asparagus, bean, broccoli, carrot, celery, leek, pea, spinach (I would not keep spinach seed longer than two years)
Long lived seeds (4-5 years): beet, chard, cabbage family (I guess other than broccoli since they listed it above), turnip, radish, cucumber, eggplant, lettuce, muskmelon, pumpkin-squash group, tomato, watermelon
