Well parallel or below parallel is up to you, as long as you do one or the other. I squat narrow and with Olympic shoes so I choose to squat deep and use the bounce since I trained for the snatch and C&J. (this isn't cheating by any means). Oly lifters squat low and get a bounce. Powerlifters usually parallel and stop.
Either way is fine but anything above parallel is wasted movement.
