You should only squat/deadlift to the depth your hips allow. 95% of the time this is dictated by the depth of your hip socket, NOT flexibility. You can't change this.
Most of the "proper technique" videos have flexion occurring at L4-S1.
I think this is why a lot of people don't work legs.

And how would you determine what depth this is?
As I squat, I prefer and advocate to others depth in range of motion. I like the "ass to grass" mentality.
Also, for deadlifts, the range of motion in the hips shouldn't be so great (I wouldn't think). I don't see much of a need to go past 90 degrees.
