I think you need to phrase the question better :P
And a "D" could be any height, depending on what you're doing. It could be thrown straight at the ground and left there for a while. As long as it's dealt with 13 beats later. And it's hard to say it should even be called a D. Here's some trivia for you: which "inventor" of siteswaps would rather call it a 13 than a D? There might even be more than one answer ;)

This!
Siteswap theory says nothing about throw height, it's all about throw order. Any assumptions about the height of the throw (as measured from the jugglers hands) eg "a 4 is straight up, about head height and returns to the same hand" only make sense when you also make assumptions about the style of throw, position of the hands, and how many hands are doing the juggling. Eg in 3 handed siteswap a 4 wouldn't land in the hand which threw it.
Boppo is the obvious answer to the "who prefers 13 to D" question, but I do wonder what some of the others think. I don't remember hearing from them on the matter.
Wasn't it Ben Beever who came up with the letters for high throws? Everyone else before that used numbers.
