As a newbee to the 20d I would suggest using sRGB since most of what you
will do will only need that color space (aRGB is a bit more robust but could
cause more problems unless you are ready to work in that environment).

The parameter setting of 2 gives you no added contrast, saturation or
sharpness. Pretty much when the camera builds the jpeg image, it will not do
any enhancing. If you want the pictures to look a bit more like point and
shoot, use parameter 1 which raises the sharpness, contrast and saturation.
The paramter settings only work on jpeg and now raw.

Since you are shooting green grass, parameter 1 may give you some added
color without having to use post processing to get it the way you want.
