More of a CSS question than a Gravity Forms question, but I am making some complicated forms with questions floating left and right.
When I do this, it becomes very obvious that the drop down fields are taller than the regular text fields - you can see it in the Advanced Fields > Address too.
It doesn't look like gravity forms uses the old-fashioned html 'Select' field, and I have been unable to track down this height setting to add to my custom.css file... any help would be apreciated.
Gravity Forms by default uses a standard Select field.
The only time this isn't the case is in the new Gravity Forms v1.6 test release which has an additional option on the Drop Down field to "Enable enhanced user interface" in which case it implements a fancy jQuery based on drop down.
If you AREN'T using that enhanced option and the field looks different then it's probably due to styles being applied by your theme. If this is the case then you may need to add CSS to your themes stylesheet to override and apply the styles you want.
There is an area in the documentation that explains how to properly target and style form elements. You can find it here:

Perfect, I found where else ware in the CSS the text fields had been shrunk down to 1px padding top and bottom. Looks like the Text and TextArea fields were correctly inheriting the style but it was skipping over the select box.
The link you put up gave me the correct style to enter an override in the custom.css
body .gform_wrapper .gform_body .gform_fields .gfield select {background: #efe; border: 1px solid #888; padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px;}
