I agree on the 48" height. From a top perspective, It is a view of the trains coming at you, hence a more realistic view. Lower is like a Jolly Green Giant view where you overlook the operation. On the bottom perspective, and for your smaller layout I am not sure that it is an overriding factor, is you will be spending a great deal of time under the layout. At 48" you can comfortably sit on a stool (Preferably one with casters) and do your wiring.
