My overflow is 29" deep. Was thinking on 16" height for main drains.
I think it's more of a personal preference thing, the higher you go the quieter it will be but lower will give better surface skimming IMO

I go half way down from the teeth but what I would suggest is to not glue the standpipe in and try a few different heights to see what works best. (I never glue my standpipes)
