Bassed on the facts in your email, it appears that you would probably have the option of suing in either state (check your contract to make sure that it doesn't have a choice of forum provision, or an arbitration provision) so sue in the one which you think is most favrable/convenient  to you and/or least favorable/convenient to your adversary.  Better though, hire a litigation attorney and let him/her advise you on issues like this.
