whats the correct angle to file a chain for ripping?

Special ripping chain is sold 10 degree and some say file at that. I just use 25 and rip.

In school we were told almost 0 degrees for ripping. I've never tried it though.

Here is a good diagram of the alaskan mill mfr.'s ripping chain.

Some cutters have top plates ground/ cut off, and the others have a shallow angle. I think that it is for clearing and cutting, respectively.
