Half squat is sometimes better if your tall.. For example: im tall and my back is hyperflexible.. So if i do a full squat it will take on the shape of the letter "U" and there isnt much i can do about it.. So i half squat until i get enough strength to keep my back straight..

Similar to what I-Dub just said above. Most people are going to tend to have a lumber that is hyper-flexible compared to their hips. I have a longish torso so I know what that is about as well.
But these are just excuses. You go for the same thing. Stable core and lumber and mobile hips, ankles, and T-spine. It can be more difficult for the taller but it will lead to better long term results. Nobody is saying that everyone has to go ankles to calves eventually.
It is important, I think to use the word mobility, though, and not flexibility. Because just stretching you hams passively, or whatever else, is not going to do it.
Meanwhile, of course, you're right..only go so deep as you can maintain the lumbar.
I think I will come up with a thread with some pointers.
