You want a saddle height that allows you to produce the most power for the longest time. There are no other metrics. Experience will tell you what that is. Go on a hilly ride with a wrench in your jersey pocket, stop frequently and vary the adjustment. I go by how it feels when I pull back at the bottom. I do start off with the heel-on-pedal thing. That gets me as far as the base of the first hill . . .
