Is there any real reason to use the "B" mode over the "T" mode or vice versa for long exposures? The Copal 0 shutter on my Caltar II-N 150 has both.

Depends on how fiddly your cable release is!
I like B for exposures under say around 5 seconds. Above 5 seconds I usually use the T mode. Your preference may be different.
If I'm going to be standing there next to the camera while exposing, I'll use 'B'. If the exposure is long enough that I'll want to wander off, I use 'T'.
I'm not difficult to get along with.

Politically, aerodynamically, and fashionably incorrect.
Thanks, this will mostly be for deep sky astrophotography. So I will be at the telescope eyepiece, I've lost a few shots on 35mm due to the lock on the cable release not doing the right thing, so I think I will try to use "T".
