I like to backup my UHD blurays losslessly and stream them from my PC via plex (~100mbps). I'm thinking local storage via a NAS is probably the cheapest option here, right?

NAS, definitely. Even hard drives are a ton faster on a local network than most people's internet connection over a cloud service.
