I make my dry rub with what sounds good that day, but basically I always use the following:
brown sugar
table salt
Hickory smoked salt
Ground cumin
onion powder
Garlic powder
Fresh ground pepper
ground red pepper
thyme
I'm bad about measuring, so I pretty much put it in the order of what I use the most of down to the least. Adjust quantity for your taste, some don't like it hot, some like it sweeter. I think the best thing to do is use what you like and if it smells good, it's probably gonna taste good. There's two things I always do for ribs, though. Number 1, peel the membrane off the back of the ribs. Number 2, give em a bath in beer overnight, then dry off and put your rub on em and let em sit for at least 3 or 4 hours before cooking.
