I have NO experience w/ramps but the ones I've seen clearly apper to be moreless flush w/the top(s)of the PU(s), or finger/fretboard.

Correct, same distance as the pick-ups or same as fretboard, just depends on the players preference, most people I have encountered like the ramp to be even or just slightly(1/32") above the pick-up tops. Just my encounters.
