Slow Cooker (Crock Pot) Recipes?

No I don't have any recipes, only questions. My wife and I are shopping for a crockpot/slowcooker. From what I gather Crockpot is a brand name. Mother in law says get a crockpot, not a slowcooker, because a slowcooker is a pot sitting on a hot plate, while a crockpot has the heating elements on the bottom, and the side. Why do the heating element need to be on the side? Doesn't heat rise? So I saw a Crockpot brand in the store the other day, and it said slowcooker right on the package. What's up with that?
