Jun 29, 2014 at 19:33 comment added Diego Marques Unfortunately, I have no Waldschmidt book with the relations between H(a) and h(a) (weyl height). With the estimates given in Zieve link I got H(a-b)<< H(a)^H(b) or something like that.
Jun 29, 2014 at 12:05 comment added Joe Silverman You can get such an estimate for the $d$'th root of the largest coefficient, where $d$ is the degree of the minimal poly. There are standard estimates relating the usual height $H_1(a)$ (not your quantity) and $H_2(a)$ the $d$'th root your height. (See the answers to the question that Michael Zieve gives the link.) For $H_1$, one has (if I remember correctly) $H_1(a-b)\le2H_1(a)H_1(b)$. From this one can get a similar estimate for $H_2$.
