In General you should aim to be near level. lowering or raising land a few 
height levels is cheaper than tunneling/bridge building. But tunneling is 
cheaper than high bridges. Definitely worth a quick scan to make sure the 
heights of the industries you are joining are similar heights with no big 
mountains/drops between them. If necessary, take the product further if it 
flatter, you will get more money for the same financial outlay.
