The usual one in English historical writing is between Principiate and Dominate (the division being the reign of Diocletian).

There's also 'early imperial', 'middle imperial' and 'late imperial', if you prefer.

The problem with 'high' and 'low' is that it reinforces the idea that the later empire was debased, corrupted or in the process of collapse, which certainly was not the case for much of the period.
