Are you in Europe? If so, that may be a good choice, i don't really know what would fit best. But in the US, you should go with US Web Coated SWOP purely in the interest of conforming to the common folk's default settings. So, if you are in Europe, your best choice is to use whatever the default for CMYK is in your region and don't try to go for some larger gamut profile for CMYK since

I have to ask,as I prep files for both digital print on the Roland and prepress files for web press output.

Why would I use a swop profile on files prepared for the Roland? Am I out to lunch,or should I be expecting the same profile to work on sign vinyl vs electrabrite with completely different inksets, dot gain factors and gamuts?

I have been using Adobe 1998 for one and swop for the other...

colour me confused.
