Lance , do you recommend this depth for the squat after catching , something higher ( like half or quarter squat ) or whatever comes/feels natural?

For what is worth , i agree with raptor , you think too much! Everyday you come up with a new question that usually includes the possibility of changing your training scheme. Its natural , we've all been there and done the same mistake , but it's still is a mistake!
Don't worry too much about the details , like i told you when you asked me for help and like raptor says above , just focus on on getting stronger on all basic lifts. Stick to that training scheme that Lance wrote for you , get stronger and then we can re-evaluate.
You can keep reading and learning new stuff all the time of course, but in general vert training is quite simple and there are no secrets or shortcuts.
