A good starting saddle height is where the heel is just touching the pedal. So then, when you pedal on the ball of the foot, your leg has a reasonable bend at the knee.
Ride that and see. then adjust slightly up or down from there if needed.
That is what I have done before. I used to
pedal on the balls of my feet-I use flat pedals for now.
