There is no ideal proper ratio for all conditions, it would change based on the incline of the road, road surface, even where your body is placed on the bike. I know on a bicycle 70% of your braking power comes from the front brake.
What wheel locked up to cause the slide? If it was the rear it could be that he was just too shy of the front brake because of the conditions. Also the first few minutes of a rain storm are the most dangerous because all of the oil and dirt are still on the surface of the road along with the water. Once it has rained some and rinsed the street traction actually improves.
