I think on a color chart, Adobe RGB colorspace is twice the area of the sRGB color space. So to measure a color with the same resolution in Adobe RGB as in sRGB, you need twice the number of values, i.e., an additional bit. So I think if you’re happy with 12-bit sRGB, you’d want 13-bit Adobe RGB. Of course, your choices are 12-bit and 14-bit, so you should choose 14-bit Adobe RGB, or in color gamut restricted situations (are there any such?) 14-bit sRGB. At least, so it seems to me.
While Ken R*ckw*ll may be an acquired taste, I found his guide for the Nikon D200 a good way to distill info from the manual. He has one for the D700 here:
