I'm curious as well, since I couldn't see any difference. Both settings start you off with -1 enemies, and end with +1 enemies.
Arc #41077 - The Men of State
Arc #48845 - Operation: Dirty Snowball
My understanding is that Ramp-up will increase the level/difficulty of the spawns but not the overall frequency, whereas Back Loaded would have sparsely placed spawns at first, then densely packed mobs at the end. Haven't checked for sure yet.

This is why I like Staggered. I usually get a mix of even enemies to +2 enemies. I rarely get a -1 on Staggered.

I switched several missions in my published arc from Staggered to Flat because I kept getting -2, -1, and even mobs, and no +1 or +2, with the Staggared option.

Does anyone know what's the difference between those two?
