Not sure what part of NY you're in, but here in New England we use the Briscon SN-40 blue insulated staples for practically everything.
Same here, however the parts of Mass I have worked in seem to be super picky about used the super long red stapes for double stacked ramen, and will violate for you not using them. Other than that, I dont think I have ever been called on a staple 110.3(B) violation.
I spent the better part of a decade using the blue staples for one or two cables. 2 14-2's, a 14-2 and a 14-3, 2 12-2's, etc. Maybe I wouldn't double up on a 12-3 but I hardly ever used 12-3.
Then one day the inspector in Lexington retired and the new guy insisted that the manufacturer's instructions stated those staples were only good for one cable. It's ridiculous, first of all...the point of romex staples in residential construction is to keep the cables from getting pinched between the lumbar and the drywall and getting poked by the screws when the drywall is installed.
But I conceded and started buying the red staples for those situations where I needed to staple a number of wires and keep them 3/4" away from the edge of the stud. I even started using stackers which I hate how they look, but I guess I like how easy they make things.
I used to take pride in my stapling job. Now I just get it legal and cry myself to sleep.
