Deeper is better. Places less strain in the knees when stopping the movement and going back up, and it stimulates the hams more.

actually your wrong.
look at the latest case studies from UCLA and you can see there actually is a significant amount stress placed on the knee and surrounding tendons and ligaments when going deep. During half squats (parallel) there was actually better muscle stimulus since most participants were able to use more weight and less pain.

@pjgmorgan Pelvic tilt is the real problem not the knees.

@LibertyWaxlips puts a lot more stress on the quadriceps tendon and patella going past 90.

Actually there is more stress on the knees by NOT going deep. Stopping halfway or high is actually bad for the knees.

Actually you knees are coming over your toes, and it's absolutely fine. It's necessary to balance the loaded bar over the centre of your foot.
