from a visibility standpoint high-wing wins.
In S&L flight, agreed - but not so good when you need to see above, or close in and below the aircraft in a turn. Especially if there's an engine perched on each wing (as well known by any UK police observer operating in the Vulcanair P-28).

Natural aircraft roll stability, in general, is better for a high winged aircraft.
