LAB to a printer vs. RGB or CMYK?

Does anyone think it would be a good idea to send LAB files for print production rather than what I take as the norm of some flavor of RGB (perhaps with an embedded profile) or CMYK.

Given my limited personal experience with color print production and from reading this list, an RGB file with an appropriate embedded profile to be converted by the production house seems to be more the norm ("better"). Is that accurate?

Might it depend on if you are in the US or Europe or Asia????

Or might it depend on whether the originator and/or the shop is color managed?


Thanks...
