Basically Adobe RGB is a bigger colour space than sRGB + can produce more accurate colours. BUT it all depends on the output method to be used :
- sRGB is closer (+ thus more suited) to monitor gamut + home printer gamut.
- Adobe RGB is more suited to professional printing, e.g. shots for magazines + the like, if accuracy of colours is crucial (e.g. commercial shots for a client where colour HAS to be right).
Therefore it's pointless using Adobe RGB for slideshows to be viewed on screen or web galleries etc., or for printing on an inkjet printer at home, because the output media simply cannot replicate the full colour space. For this reason, colours do tend to look rather flat if you use Adobe RGB for either of these output methods.
However, a lot of ppl swear by Adobe RGB, so it's a case of try it both ways for yourself + compare. If you don't see much of an improvement using Adobe RGB, then my advice would be to stick with sRGB.

Some of it's repeating what OP said. And others for that matter. I'm waffling now (tired) so
