As far as trajectory, I believe it is pretty much the opposite of what you might think.

If you tee it lower, you will hit the ball higher (unless you tee it TOO low) because you will attack with a more upright swing and steeper angle. A higher teed ball, makes you have to flatten out your swing to hit the ball in the middle of the clubface...giving you a lower trajectory.

If you say "no, that's not true, because when I tee it a little higher I hit skyballs." Well, that's a problem with your swing in relation to your tee height, you're swinging too steep. Tee it up a little higher, flatten out your swing and concentrate on hitting the ball in the middle of the clubface and the trajectory will be lower.
