From AskTheMeatman.com: "Where Do Baby Back Ribs Come From? Baby Back Ribs are located on the loin of the hog. They are basically the spine and part of the ribs. They are cut when you "take" the loin off of the backbone. The name comes not from the age of the hog, but because of the small size of the "ribs" compared to the larger pork spareribs. Pork Spareribs are the actual ribs of a hog." http://www.askthemeatman.com/answers/answer_to_where_do_baby_back_rib.htm

It depends on whether you're making pork or beef ribs, and with beef, what kind of ribs determines the best cooking method. I like pork ribs personally, they don't have a lot of meat on them, so they can be cooked quickly at a high temperature. I rub dry seasonings on them, paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, etc. Then I spray them with a light film of oil and pop them in the oven for maybe 15 minutes (depending on the length of the rack) at the highest temperature I can get the oven (500 degrees).
The order of ribs from superior to inferior is: True ribs (1-7) False ribs (8-10) Floating ribs (11-12)
