At our local show whoever makes the top gets the credit and the ribbon and the long armer isn't even mentioned usually. I've been to other shows where there were two ribbons, one for the piecer and one for the long armer. I will say that two years ago most of the quilts were quilted by someone other than the piecer but this year I saw quite a few quilts that were completely done by one person, several hand quilted. Maybe pride of workmanship is coming back rather than just quantity of quilts or more people are getting their own long arm setups.
