Neither has to be an issue. Electronic equipment designed and built to military specs is used reliably in some of the harshest environments in the world.

If you have your studio in a room that is mostly dedicated for studio use and can be closed off, dehumidfier and hepa filter units are reasonable in cost and will help with humidity and dust control. Adhering to a stringent maintenance schedule will also extend the life of your equipment.

There are many bands that play right out on the beach where there is always wind blowing, sea mist, sand, and high humidity and they are still using equipment they have used in these conditions for years. Your indoor studio equipment will not likely ever see such abuse as their equipment. It's all about protecting your equipment and servicing/cleaning on a regular basis.

The same is true for photographers and videographers. They carry equipment worth thousands of dollars out on the beachfront all the time. They simply know their equipment and how to service/clean it and do so diligently.
