Chicken doesn't want much smoke and it should be a mild wood. Apple or grapevine would be great.
Ribs can take a bigger wood such as Oak or Hickory. Mesquite has such a strong smoke flavor that you have to be quite experienced to use it. It can make food uneatable(it that a word?).
I like chicken in Apple, ribs in a combo of apple and hickory. Just don't overdo it.
