I’m not going to try and say that bb height doesn’t effect handling but the ebb frame i built has bb rise instead of drop and I notice the climb up to the saddle more than I notice any untoward handling characteristics.
I will be the first to admit that I’m an ‘unrefined’ cyclist though.
It never occurred to me till I was looking at photos of the bike the other day that my bb is in the ‘upper’ position and that there’s a matching ‘lower’ position I could have put it in.
I went with the theory that it's better to set the ebb in the 'upper' position, as it is less likely to rotate and slacken the chain with forward pressure from pedaling force than if it is set in the lower position.
