Color Management Question

Unlike many who are bound by production criteria I have the option of using any color space in Photoshop I want. My main criteria in choosing a working color space would be to minimize image degradation at this point in the color management chain. Understanding that converting from a Capture One camera profile to a destination working color space with smaller color gamut will cause clipping of colors outside the colors represented in Capture Ones \"spaces\". Likewise conversion to a destination space with a different gamma or tone curve a significant number of levels also get lost.

My question is...Taking my criteria into account what (gamut and gamma) is the most \"efficient\" destination color space to use in Photoshop with Capture one? I would like to minimize image degradation the least I can at this point in my color management chain.

Just an observation. Colormatch RGB seems to render the tones more smoothly than others however there seems to be a very slight amount of de-saturation in some colors when viewed in Photoshop compared to CO (rather pleasing actually). Maybe the slight saturation difference is just the redering by Adobes color management engine. Possibly Colormatch has the same Gama but slightly larger Gamut?
