Ok, so having done a bit more digging I discovered that the black registration colour is in fact not what I'm looking for as it represents 100% on CMY and K when printed, and is to be used for, yip you guessed it registration marks.
So having answered my own questions, a new one would be: When is it best to use a Plain Black (0C, 0M, 0Y, 100K), and a Rich Black (63C, 52M, 51Y, 100K)?
