Colour profiles, what do you use?

After realising that all my photobucket images are displayed in sRGB when I upload them in Adobe RGB, I've decided to just start converting my RAW shots to sRGB in ACR since I almost always share them on the web, and I read that most printers don't do a great job of expanding aRGB profiles anyway.

In theory, aRGB is the way to go, but in practice is it simpler to just work in sRGB? And if so, how do you set up your wide gamut monitor (I use a u2711 for instance) in a way that still takes advantage of your expanded colour range, but still produces accurate results?

I'm a bit confused! :confused:
 
But doesn't that mean you're missing out on the extra colours afforded by said monitor? That was my first instinct, but then using sRGB means you won't ever use the full capabilities of your monitor no?
