I agree that consistancy is key, for sure.
Now, if you tell me that you're going to call the same strike zone for a beginning 10U game that you'd call in an advanced 18U game, I'll tell you that you're going to be in for a long night and a ton of crap from the coaches.
Now I don't give them anything high or low, but I do call pitches off the plate, especially if the catcher makes 'em look good.
Watch MLB long enough and you'll see an overhead view of a called strike that's 4 inches off the outside of the plate. You almost have to call that pitch if the catcher helps you out with it.
