I personally don't like the recommend seating position that Airbus gives its way too high but that's just me.
Very good advice.
I use the balls to adjust, but in combination with the glareshield: I position myself that my view-line can read the instruments without being obstructed by the glareshield, but also that my view-line can see the top of the glareshield.
What do I mean by that: my vision line is exactly parallel to the glareshields plane (on top - under the windshield) when looking at the glareshields front edge. Hope it is clear what I mean.
