Re: Switch And Recept. Heights

If you keep them between 15" and 48" it keeps them in the forward reach range of somebody in a wheel chair.

There is no NEC requirement. It's owners option.

I like to run switches at 44" throughout (to bottom of outlet box). That's personal though.

If the top of the switch box is a little lower (for example 45"), then the switch box is not in the drywall seam (assuming the sheets are installed horizontally), this will mean less mud in the box and the cover plates will look better as they are on a flat portion of the wall.
