The higher the better.
Probably not true.
You once participated in a thread that contradicted that assertion:

Note especially plain Rusty's comments regarding Half-Power Beam Width and optimum placement.
BTW, my own experience is that high placement of a base station rarely, if ever, improves signal strength.
As an example, note the vertical antenna gain pattern of this dipole:

The radiation pattern is essentially toroidal, not spherical.
