If the Print will be the most important and must be the most accurate, you'll not only want to spend your energies on the CMYK version rather than the RGB, but you'll also be concerned about the colour accuracy of your monitor. Add to that the fact that you're working on an RGB device trying to simulate a CMYK colour space while you correct, and you'll understand why proofs on the actual device are often the only way to know if you've tweaked correctly.

So 709 is more correct...CMYK is the place you need to be if your print takes primacy. But you're taking a bit of a leap of faith in trying to correct CMYK on an RGB device (without even addressing the issue of monitor calibration yet). So if your client is a fanatic about colour on the final print, you'll want to run some proofs and re-tweak.
