In Camera colour space Adobe 1998, Pro RGB, sRGB, When shooting Jpegs which one do you use: and do you use: the same colour all the way through your workflow. I myself use Adobe 1998 in camera,Photoshop,and Print, convert to sRGB for Web.
RAW into Lightroom as DNG, save to Adobe 1998 Tiff, or Jpeg..

I only ever use sRGB - I know it's technically inferior but it's by far the most convenient when you end up sending stuff here, there and everywhere!

sRGB. It is universal and convenient and results in nice punchy prints.

Same as you - AdobeRGB for the larger colourspace for printing. Then convert to sRGB for web.

Occasionally I'll use 16-bit TIFF and ProPhoto, but to be honest, AdobeRGB has been a wide enough gamut for everything I've needed day-to-day.

FWIW, Microsoft do a colour space checker (and Apple has ColorSync) that shows the differences between spaces - this is helpful in seeing which space you should work in

There's some more info on my sticky threads on colour management
