In a moderate deflation bonds would seem to be the thing to hold. The price of gold should fall like everything else. In a total economic collapse gold's price has a floor based on its cost of production while other assets value is based on their productiveness. There is the overhang of Central Bank gold like there would be a big overhang of property in a massive depression (property also has a cost of production but the land value can fall very low). But if there was even a moderate switch to using gold as money that would be absorbed. So in that circumstance gold may be a good idea.
