When creating a vector logo for web in illustrator, which is best to use for colour settings Adobe RGB 1998 or sRGB?

I have been experimenting with the settings and Adobe RGB  of course makes for  more vibrant colours while sRGB offers more muted tones. At the moment I am unsure whether the logo will be printed so for now, it will be displayed on web.

What are some other difference besides the colour vibrancy?

The vast majority of devices displaying web content expect images to be in sRGB. Support for alternatives such as Adobe RGB are growing but are far from the norm. I would definitely recommend ensuring that your exported content is in sRGB or else you image will not be displayed correctly in many situations.
