The "recommended practice" is ... don't put NPCs in a specific place.
Containment is meant for permanent, or near-permanent, locations (like a building in a settlement, or a settlement on a geographic location [note: NOT a political region]).
That being said, I would find phantom copies extra confusing. What I prefer to do is to place the NPC (or Item, or whatever) in a holding place ... such as under a Cast List (Adventure Allies, Adventure Enemies, Adventure Support, SettlementX Residents, etc.).
Something else to remember is that, depending on the GM, once the campaign starts, there's no guarantee that the NPC (or Item, etc.) will [i[stay[/i] where it started. If I have a Cult Leader (as in the example), I would want to see ONE copy so I know where he is... and I'd move that one copy from container to container to mark the location changes as the game plays out.
