Macbook Pro (non-retina) Display Profile

I'm just trying to sync my colorspace and profile of my monitor and camera. The monitor does show under the colorsync utility that my Canon's 60D profile is the default.

I'm totally confused as to what color profile to use. There are about 5 resident ones on the monitor's colorsync utility. Should I be editing my images (in LR4) on Adobe RGB 1998? I shoot in RAW and export JPEG.

I've got my camera profile set to Adobe RGB and export to sRGB for online printing.

The macbook pro allows you to calibrate your existing profiles (by eye). I selected the Color LCD profile to calibrate and it rendered a warmer color overall.

Any help is appreciated.

I use an older Eye-One Match device to calibrate my Mac monitor. Its helped a lot in getting what I see on screen in print.
Of course my printer is also color profiled for each type of paper.
I usually edit photos in the colorspace of the paper I'm going use for printing or if i'm not sure I'll use wide gamut.

Thanks for your reply. I upload my images to online printer, so i should probably try and load their printer icc profile? By wide gamut, what do you mean? I use Adobe Lightroom for
Editing, and it utilizes its own colorspace.
