The height is set by your bowl, not by taste
A tall faucet exists for one reason: a bowl that sits on the countertop rather than in it. That makes the geometry arithmetic rather than taste — the spout has to clear the rim of your bowl and still point inside it. The figure to read is spout height measured from the faucet hole, not overall height, because the part below the countertop tells you nothing. Add the rim height of your bowl, allow a few centimeters of air, and you have the minimum. Too tall is a real fault too: water falling from 9.8 in (25 cm) into a shallow bowl splashes onto the countertop, and no amount of aerator fixes it. Spout reach should land the stream near the middle of the bowl, roughly half the bowl diameter. We compare overall height, spout height above the faucet hole, spout reach, stated flow rate with its test pressure, cartridge diameter, and finish.

Spout reach decides the distance between the faucet and where the water lands in the bowl.
Overall height decides how the faucet looks beside the bowl and the mirror.
Overall height describes the bulk; spout height above the faucet hole describes the clearance available.
The one that clears the bowl with margin. The two published dimensions allow the calculation.
That depends on the drop and the bowl. This site publishes dimensions and runs no test.
A manufacturer figure at a stated pressure. It compares models.
Its type is published. It is the part that decides repairability.
The published finish is the manufacturer's. This site recommends no color.
This site publishes faucet specifications. It describes no drilling operation.
It is intended for a vessel sink. The published dimensions say what clearance is left.
Spout height above the faucet hole decides the clearance, reach decides where the water lands, and overall height decides what fits under the mirror.
The table keeps only the dimensions given by four products in five. Below that threshold, a column measures missing data rather than the product.
