Do I have to use Ritz?
You can use another brand that has a similar cracker. You want one that is buttery, flaky and crisp. So any brand will work as long as it fits the same flavor category.
Could I use a seasoning other than Ranch?
You could, but then it would not be Ranch flavored crackers. I would suggest that this recipe is tried first and then decide if you want to try a different flavor.

The crackers can sit on the counter as long as they are placed into an airtight container. You could also keep them stored in the refrigerator if you like them chilled. It may help them stay fresh a day or two longer to be in the refrigerator.
