You can either do back squats with a high or low bar position. The low bar for some lifters can be a more challenging technically because of the bar position but when adaptation to this has occurred generally higher loads can be handled and is often the position that powerlifters prefer due to the mechanical advantage. It does requires some pretty decent shoulder flexibility with end range horizontal shoulder abduction and full external rotation so may not suit everyone. Also high bar position can cause neck pain in some lifters. Interestingly, although greater loads can be handled with the low-bar back squat, IEMG analysis demonstrates that motor recruitment/activation of the major or primary muscles involved in this exercise are similar so in terms of increasing general strength it probably doesn’t matter what you choose
low bar back squat? for what??
