If you can't find anything but a naked tree, I go about 18-20 ft.
If I have background cover , especially in a pine of some type, 12-15 ft. would be fine. A pine also provides season long cover.
The trick to a lower stand height is breaking up your outline and moving slowly when u draw.
Try a pine w/ lots of low limbs if you're affraid of heights.

IM a 20 footer, but my son is still leary of heights yet, and he hunts 12' in ladder stands with no problems at all and kills deer. If you have a good background it helps alot as well as brushing in the stand as well. as mentioned hills are an issue as well.

RE: how low in tree stand
it all depends on what im hunting if im deer hunting i like to be about 12 feet or so for bow hunting and about 9 feet for gun depending on the wind and situation also. when i bear hunt i like to be right in close. this past year i was in a ladder about 8 feet off the ground while bear hunting. and i sat there for about an hour and had a real big sow probably 325#+ she was huge and she had two cubs with her. definatly real up close and personal its kinda of a scary feeling. but its your personal prefrence were ever you kill more animals
