Doing regular squats will recruit more of your CNS(central nervous system) which in turn will tell you whole body to grow. You will also be using more hammies and glutes if doing low bar back squats. The Smith will use more of your quads when throwing your legs out.
I love low bar back squats - develops the whole back chain. Smith will isolate more. Also, the Smith is for pussies
