Flat out - if you're mostly displaying your work on the web, use sRGB.

Your goal should be to work in the same color space that your target
audience will be seeing. For 99% of computer monitors, that means
SRGB. Doesn't matter if you personally have a wide-gamut monitor, most
people don't.
one thing i'd note is that if you have a wide audience "computer monitor"
should be broadened to include mobile devices; current iPhones and iPads
have pretty much exactly sRGB gamut; iPad Pro meets DCI-P3, an up-and-coming
display standard that extends sRGB about halfway to the extra greens and
blues of Adobe RGB
some Android devices are also wide-gamut, and there are wider-gamut
standards and displays on the horizon, so i think if you are buying a
display for photo editing to last you a few years, it's worth going beyond
sRGB in capability
[also from the linked article]
You can create the photo with a non-sRGB color space and let the web
automatically convert/interpret the colors to sRGB. But if you let the
web do that conversion, it will not do a great job, some colors will
look off or desaturated... whereas your own conversion will be exactly
what you want.
and unfortunately you'll want to consider reconverting in a couple of years
when the consumer display space has moved forward
it's also worth pointing out that for web images it's the browser or the OS,
not the web, that does the conversion
