Foot positioning has more to do with your hip mobility than anything. My hips naturally have a lot of external rotation but limited internal rotation, causing me to prefer to have my toes out. I think you'd be better served to go with what feels most comfortable for you, rather than worry about the semantics of foot angle.

I agree. I also tweaked my right hip trying to have my toes angled out to the extent Rippetoe recommends. Ultimately, the best squat form is the form that allows you to accommodate increasing weight without injuring yourself, so you can keep squatting.

Pick one of the two on the right. Also, front squats are boss.
