What is your preferred (ideal) height to run sprinkler pipe above suspended ceilings?

Is your preference to run as low as possible above the depth of the lights to save on pipe, to run a fixed height above the ceiling (ie: 8", 12", 14") to simplify cut lengths, just run anywhere in between the lights and ductwork, or something else? I've heard a few different approaches to this question and was curious what considerations our experts here make when determining how high to run.

Thanks in advance.
