You should set it to whatever you color calibrating the monitor to. Without any calibration srgb is a rough default for many monitors though it could be pretty far off. Though different monitors have different abilities to cover a certain colorspace ranges. Often you will see a chart like this below showing the range of srgb or rec709 that your specific monitor can display. Obviously not every monitor has the ability to show the full range of rec709 or srgb colors.
