What is the criteria to choose between ordinary, intermediate and special moment resisting frames? Please provide reference from ACI?

Better to look at ASCE 7-16 - regions of higher seismicity have stricter requirements depending on building height which will push you out of ordinary and intermediate.

Refer to ASCE 7 Table 12.2-1 Design Coefficients and Factors for Seismic Force-Resisting Systems , and permitted structural systems.
I f you are looking for RC frames, the following table is the summary :

He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock..
