Hi Brent (and welcome back) I'll throw a couple thoughts out
File format Tiff uncompressed (16 bit if possible) JPEG2000 looks interesting but too few programs can use it. I would consider storing RAW but there is no guarantee that it will be readable in 10 years Color space Adobe 1998. It's the closest to what can be output by ink jet and photographic printers. sRGB is too small of a gamut even though some photographic printers print to that. It's always better to have more then you need then the other way around. Unless you are printing on offset printers your file should be in RGB. Both photographic printers and ink jets use RGB not CMYK. CMYK is a very small gamut color space. Color management is a nightmare. The biggest problem is that there is no universal standard. I have found that you can do quite well just using Adobe Gamma. When I burn a CD and take it to someplace with a digital mini lab the results come out ok. I print on an Epson 2200 and use paper profiles and ICM (internal color management) and My prints match my monitor within 1-2cc's.
