Saddle Height

Hi folks, just curious about hoe most folk have got their bike set up with regards saddle and handlebar height.
I am a right lanky sod, all legs and little torso so I am struggling to decide what height my saddle should be with regards the handlebars- a few mm of diff between the two, a few inches or what?
I know its personal preference but I want to see if there is a majority view and I will try that for a bit.

Don't get caught up in all the statistical BS that surround saddle height/ seat height relationships... Just set your bike up so that you are comfortable, not over stretched...
