AdobeRGB allows a significantly greater number of colors to be represented without clipping. If you're going to be editing photos, it's much better to store the originals with AdobeRGB colorspace and render them to whatever colorspace requirements are set by the output printer or web display.
I haven't read it yet, but I suspect that Bruce Fraser's "Real World Color Management" would cover all of these kinds of topics in depth. He talks about colorspaces and cliping to a reasonable degree in "Real World Camera RAW" as well, which is in my opinion one of the singularly most useful books to understand if you are serious about getting the most from a digital camera.
