Do box squats work your legs as efficiently as regular squats?
I've been doing regular squats but i'm considering doing box squats because i can lift more weight with them.

Why can't a beginner use box squats? Box squats are a good way to teach hip drive during the squat and allow someone to feel more comfortable with the squat as they are learning proper mechanics.
As for the OP, why not include both? Either way, there are certainly bigger things to worry about that will affect your progress more than whether or not to squat using a box. Whatever you decide to do, progression should be your main focus.
