Adobe RGB has a much wider gamut than sRGB. The in camera histogram is based on the embedded JPEG even if one shoots RAW. By setting the in camera color space to sRGB one would show clipping in highlights before there actually is any in the RAW file.The Adobe RGB is for the in camera histogram accuracy only.
You can switch the color space to whatever you prefer when importing to your RAW converter. A RAW file does not have a color space.
If you print at a typical photo kiosk is is better to set the color space after PP to sRGB. If you get the print made at a truly professional printing lab they will know how to process Adobe RGB. Also the better ink-jet printers have a wider gamut than sRGB so it is better to print on one of these ink-jets in Adobe RGB for a wider gamut and more true colors.

Why would you not be setting to sRGB when all labs and inkjets are printing sRGB?
