Hello Markus, Since most monitors can only display sRGB and the output (labs) are mostly sRGB, I have found it much easier to just work in sRGB for everything. My wedding lab uses that and suggested I just stick with it all the way around. I haven't found any problems getting the rich, deep colors you are talking about. I think that if you are printing fine art on your own printers, there might be some small advantages to another color space, but if you are sending your work out to be printed, you might just as well stay in sRGB and go take pictures.
