I have a Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .308. If I intend to put a Zeiss Conquest 3-9X40 scope on it, what ring height should I use? Is the objective lens small enough to clear the barrel with low rings, or do I need to use medium?

It depends entirely on whose rings you intend to use.  Anybody's "medium" rings will work, but some manufacturers' "low" rings will work as well.

Leupold PRW rings (part 54149 medium, part 54144 low) and QRW two piece base (part 49481).  If the Zeiss Conquest 3-9X40 will fit on the low rings and still clear the barrel I'd use them, otherwise I'll just go with the medium rings.
