Is he asking about the short ribs? If so, I've had good luck with them cut crossways (flanken) about 2" or so wide; they butterfly nice that way.

As far as the back ribs go, I like them left attached to the rib roast. That way I can cut them as meaty as I want or leave them alone and cook them with the roast.
