Standard for Scene Covers Images: Listing vs. Player Thumbnail?

In many cases, I notice studios using different cover images for a single scene: one for their scene list and another as the player thumbnail.

I understand that the general ‘rule’ is to use the original cover to preserve the source information as accurately as possible. However, it’s not clarified which of these two images should be considered the preferred/original cover.

My question is: which of these is preferred as the official Scene Cover for edits in StashDB?

historically it has been on a case-by-case basis. Sometimes one or the other is more informative and gets used as the cover
