More drummers have their toms angled down a bit than not. I've always liked the way the flatter toms looked and have tried to emulate it but never could stick with it. It always bothered me that it seemed to require greater effort to raise my hands a bit more for execution. I could have raised the stool like some but I always liked the stool midway, not high.
I think it's very subjective. Either way, you could adapt if you wanted to. We're creatures of habit. It just takes getting used to.
