Try both on individual shots, then play away with the developing anyway. Your original looks a ittle overexposed as shown. No penalty for swapping back and forth with Raw anyway. Basically Adobe Standard is aimed to be 'accurate' in that it was made taking into account how your camera model interprets colours. Camera Standard is meant to imitate what your camera at default JPG output would have done. Typically that would have more contrast and more saturated colour to make a more 'snappy, attractive' photo. No one correct answer. It's whatever you want it to be. Some camera models (popular ones like the Canon cameras) have multiple profile options. Much smaller sellers like Leica do not.
