it depends on what you are more comfortable with. i believe a wide stance will bring the glutes, hams, lower back, and hips more into play then a closer stance squat. it is a shorter distance to move the weight also. but then again a lot of people lack the flexibility to use this style effectively.

me personally , i hate close stance squats . they are too brutal on my knees . i squat wide , because it is more comfortable for me . i wouldnt say one is better than the other , because a close stance is going to work you differently than a wide stance . it depends on what you are squatting for . are you a powerlifter ? im assuming you are since you posted this in the powerlifting forum .

yeah from what i understand (again, i'm a noob) most PL'ers squat wide, especially on box squats. I think its pretty common at least for westside to squat WIIIIDE on a box, then when its time to do the competition lift narrow the stance just enough to hit depth.
The reason for this is because wide squats = hit P chain more ...but i could be wrong.
