It depends. For one thing, if your contractor is electronically filing, he/she would not need to send a copy to the state.
If the state requires one later on, he/she will send copy B or make a copy of the original and send it to the state. At this point, it doesn't matter if it is Copy 2, Copy B, or just a copy of the original 1099-NEC. In this respect, you are still conforming to your sense of uniformity and professionalism.
