I can't claim to be an expert, but I reckon whichever one allows you to get your back parallel with the ground.

if your a predrifter then low is probobly going to be easier for you to ride and thus faster, you foot break a truck that is higher is probobly going to grip more and thus be abit faster

Neither. You have to find your happy medium. If you make your tuck really low you are going to look the same as most in the sense that your knee is resting on your forward ankle. This will make a huge gap between your front and back leg. Air can freely whoosh through there and that is going to slow things up. If you have a higher tuck it will minimise the gap between your legs. If you have your back knee resting behind your forward knee then that gap will be nil but your going to be a lot higher and it is going to be harder to get your back straight. Look at Mischo, super high tuck because his knee is super high but he is tall and still able to get his back straight so it works for him. Incredibly fast dude.
Most will have the back knee on the top of the front calf. The biggest problem most people have is not pulling their arms straight, tight and flush with the torso so you are essentially a big parachute even if your leg position is good. Straight back and chest to your knee. Arms tight with no gap between your elbows and your body and try to minimise the gap between the two legs. Sorry to pick on Jack Meyn but look at the arms in that profile shot and check out how high his chest is off his knee. Those are the things you want to minimise.
