Do you have to deal with alpha channels and overlaying items in your 
compositing?  If no transparency is needed and you're just placing 
images side-by-side then you might be best off compositing directly in 
the colour space of the target device, if a profile is available.

For cases where the profile isn't available, sRGB or even Adobe RGB 
would be reasonable choices.  It's a tradeoff between gamut and the step 
size of 8-bit data - they increase in tandem.  The contouring effects I 
spoke about can be hidden to a certain extent, too - a lot depends on 
your source data.  The "cleaner" the image, the more likely you are to 
have problems - a noisy image may not show it at all.

All the best,
