Most people just use the terms high bar and low bar. I don't think you'll really find anyone placing it lower than the spine of the scapula. I had to Google it and search through pics, but that looks analogous to most low-bar squats. The variation would be placing it higher; not lower.

Mostly high bar with a narrow to medium stance. Occasionally I'll throw in some low bar but due to a small lingering shoulder impingement I can't do them too often. Once my shoulder gets better I'll mix it up more.

Ultra low if I don't have to squat super deep, higher if I do.

In the Upper back "pocket" where it clicks in. No clue if it's high or low bar. Don't care either way.
