I don't think it really matters. Send whatever you can. If you can only send copies at this time then send them, but if you have the originals with you, make copies, send them the originals and save the copies with your records.

Affidavits attesting to marriage bona fides should be originals. They are for USCIS adjudication, not for the visa interview. Save copies and include the originals. Other supporting documentation should be photocopies.
