You just opened a whole can of worms, you know.
My first advice is to shoot RAW. That way when you're importing the file in you can decide what colourspace it should be in when you're doing the post processing.
My second advice is to ask how calibrated your entire workflow is. If something isn't calibrated it'll just break the whole chain. The follow up question is to ask if everything is set to use the same colourspace. If not, when converting to the lower gamut colourspace for the final output, is the extra hassle worth it? If you're using your printer try to get a good profile for your papers and play around with Photoshops print settings. Make sure the printer and Photoshop are playing nice with one another!
The final piece of advice I have is to not get too caught up with all of this. This kind of detail is usually for the last 10% to perfection. You can get very good photos even when shooting in sRGB... and as far as I know, you're still learning a lot. Try not to get overloaded with information. Confused brains tend to pick up bad habits. :P
Incidentally, my RAWs start at ProPhoto. However it does take some skill and restraint in processing them; there's a tendency to go overboard if you're not careful and end up with terrible results when you convert over to a smaller gamut.
