This is for graphic design reasons, so height in pixels is preferred. I think different language keyboards may have different heights if that is the case. Then height of USA/UK keyboard would be preferable?

You should get it programatically, it is the best way, register for the notification:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector (keyboardDidShow:) name: UIKeyboardDidShowNotification object:nil];

And then get the frame:

-(void) keyboardDidShow: (NSNotification *)notif
{
    NSDictionary* info = [notif userInfo];
    NSValue *aValue = [info objectForKey:UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey];
    CGRect keyboardFrame = [aValue CGRectValue];
}

Whish it helps!

You can get height of keyboard, whenever it gets showed: 

//add this line to viewDidLoad    
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyBordShown name:UIKeyboardDidShowNotification object:nil];

- (void)keyBordShown:NSNotification*)notification
{
    NSDictionary* keyboardInfo = [notification userInfo];
    NSValue* keyboardFrameBegin = [keyboardInfo valueForKey:UIKeyboardFrameBeginUserInfoKey];
    CGRect keyboardFrameBeginRect = [keyboardFrameBegin CGRectValue];
}

As this will be better approach than statically setting height of keyboard.
