Default Power filter intake tube depth

What are the rules governing the depth of power filter intake tubes
for planted aquariums ??

Put it too close to the gravel and it sucks your plants / fish in.

Put it too high and you get poor circulation and poor cleaning.

Opinions ??

It's an Emperor 280 filter in a 37 gallon cube.
