Desktop ADE is 1.0em. So if you do want a specific line height, you have to specify it. But please don't make it 1.2em or higher. Too big. 1.1em might be OK for most people.
This isn't an assumption, it's based on actual results using ADE. Attached pics show a couple of paragraphs in Desktop ADE with paragraph line-heights of: 1.0em, (LH10em.gif), 1.1em, (LH11em.gif) and 1.2em, (LH12em.gif). The final picture, (LHDEF.gif), is that obtained using default line-height, (i.e. not specified) and this is closest to 1.2em.
