If you loosen the strings for any length of time, you should slacken the truss rod off to prevent the neck developing a back bow. There's really no need to do either for storage purposes.
Strings should be slackened for shipping so that if the guitar gets damaged, the string tension doesn't magnify it - or with a Gibson, just pull the headstock off if the case gets dropped hard onto its front.
