Ceiling fan placement question

I bought a celing fan for my garage/shop, a fairly nice 54" jobbie. I'm placing it over the workbench area; if you image standing front and center of the workbench, the sweep of the fan is just behind you.

My question is how close to the ceiling/far off the floor should it be? I bought a 2' drop pole, which puts the motor 36" from the ceiling and 9' off the floor. Should I go higher? I don't think I should go lower. I was second guessing myself and thinking I should use a 1' drop instead, which would put it 10' off the floor and 2' from the ceiling.

Thoughts?
