Both work. By default, in Emacs, keypad keys work the same as the normal-key
counterparts. "By default" here means unless you or some library gives them
different bindings.

You must have GNU Emacs 22 or more recent for this feature. It won't work in
Emacs 20/21. And you must have loaded buff-menu+.el (not just the vanilla
buff-menu.el).

`+' is bound to `buffer-menu-increase-max-buffer+size'
`-' is bound to `buffer-menu-decrease-max-buffer+size'

So there is some confusion as to what you are using. Your initial mail spoke of
buff-menu.el, but it also spoke about "electric" buffer list. Those are two
different things.
What I mentioned to use is buff-menu+.el, which is an extension of the vanilla
buff-menu.el that comes with GNU Emacs. See the URL I pointed you to for more
info.
I know nothing about ebuff-menu.el, sorry.
