48 inches for my HO layout.
48-in is an easy length to find for standard lumber and PVC pipe, which I use for legs in some sections. Also, since it's a donut plan, 48-in is still relatively easy to duck under. It's a good height for me to stand and work on the layout and it's also a good compromise viewing height if I sit down to operate. I'm 5'10" and my knees are still doing ok, but I might have to lower it and add a liftout section eventually.
