It is all about trade-offs. Bars higher than saddle gives you a more upright position that may be more comfortable but you catch more wind which will slow you down/take more effort. Saddle higher than bars gives you a more aero position which beats the wind better but may not be as comfortable, especially at first. As far as what is "right", it depends on what works best for you on your bike for your riding style.
