Some of you have it under the saddle, a lot at the same level and some over the saddle.
I guess that really depends on what kind of riding you do. For the bikes in this thread, Grant Petersen's philosophy applies: grips level with or slightly above saddle height. Comfortable, in other words.
The only time the < saddle height position makes sense is in racing, when aerodynamics is a factor. Or masochism. Or posing, I suppose.
