Regardless of what colour profile you use when you save for web, when the image is uploaded to the web it is converted to SRGB, when you view the downloaded web image on your monitor you see the SRGB image via your own monitor profile colour, this may or may not appear the same. So if your main interest is uploading and viewing web images then your monitor profile should be set up as SRGB, using Colour Calibration software if possible. This same profile should be set up in your Photoshop/Lightroom or similar colour management settings as your custom monitor profile. If you have different profiles for monitor and graphics software and then save for web, then everything will be different!
