The idea with 3' above is that you can still comfortably grab the ladder but as you go to step on the first rung below the roof edge you can do so by leaning over the top of the ladder. Any higher then 3' and you can't do that as easily, they you having to walk around the ladder to step on it. But its what ever your most comfortable with. From my own experience I dislike it above or below 3' if your carrying tools or any supplies up the ladder.
