Starting in Adobe RGB will give you a bit more to play with colourwise, but you will degrade your image slightly by the gamma conversion in the end. (Ok for those of you that doesn't believe me mage a grayscale gradient in Adobe RGB . Open levels and see the appearance. Now convert to Apple RGB or Colormatch, and check the levels again. This is what the gamma shift does.) You can gain a bit if you work in 16bit and convert in 16 bit though (you'd probably want Photoshop 8 for that). And I would recommend converting to ColorMatch RGB over Apple RGB - bettr space in some important places.
