The higher the temperature, the greater the loss of heat. Keeping it down will allow you to use less insulation, or to have greater efficiency with what insulation you already have. Phase change materials allow more energy storage for a given volume, but there are materials which change phases at lower temperatures than salt, for example paraffin/wax can melt at ~60°-80°C.
