It all depends on where or in what sort of terrain/cover you are placing the stand.
Don't go so high up that you skyline yourself, but you want to be able to see over the low lying/low growing ground cover that deer often conceal themselves behind. I've found that 12'-15' is often plenty without overdoing it.
The buck I shot last season.... I was 8' off the ground and he was above me on an 8' high burm.... we were essentially eye level about 10 yards apart when I shot him.
