Motza'ei Shabbos recitations/zemiros

In the Rodelheim Machzor for Yom Kippur (Goldschmidt edition page 349), this is the Nusach:
המבדיל בין קדש לחול חטאתינו ימחול, כספנו וזרענו ירבה כחול וככוכבים בלילה
But when Benno Weis sings it (in his recording for Ne'iloh Yom Kippur) he says זרענו וכספנו.

Are these things Minhag Ashkenaz and what is the סדר הדברים? Also, is it a MA to say Ribon on MS and where does it fit in the סד"ה?

Generally, all the Zemiros you mentioned are Minhag Ashkenaz, and some others could be said too, but these are the most common ones. There is no rule about what comes first and what next. Usually Hamavdil was said after Havdolo.
Ribon is considered a Techino with roots in the Yerushalmi.

The Chasam Sofer says that כספנו comes before זרענו, this is the way most old Machzorim say and therefore this is the Nusach. He explains that the logic in this is because the Piyyut continues כחול וככוכבים, and the first of the two mentioned is to be blessed as חול, and the second is to be blessed as כוכבים. Since we do not care what type of money we have, but we do care what type of children we have, therefore we say כספנו first, so it will be blessed to be a lot like sand, and next זרענו, which we want to be a lot and also of high quality as the stars.

Generally what is printed in the Rodelheim, or what Benno Weis says (which is what he heard from the Chazzan in FFAM), would be closer to Minhag Ashkenaz than what is printed in today's modern Siddurim.

See a long discussion on this issue in Divrei Kehillos page 310. He concludes one should say כספינו וזרעינו, and he explains the difference between this and Bnei Gad. (And in page 462 he brings in brief the Chasam Sofer's teirutz).
