Thanks all, the verdict then is to try the datastore first. The tiles will be refreshed on a regular basis (probably every 24 hours) using an application outside the GAE, so the reliability and speed of the bulk uploader will be an important factor. The last time I tried the bulk uploader I found it would fail occassionally - perhaps it's more reliable now.
Otherwise, I'll give Amazon's S3 a try.
