Good mornings are great...I like the hamstring stretch and they train you to hold lower back position. I can't see how these wouldn't help your squat that's for sure.
As a short torso'd person I never got anything out of good mornings but I like to put a plate on either side and just rep it out.
I much prefer to deadlift with a larger range of motion
Good mornings would be superior to SLDL for the purpose of building the squat...
I do SLDL as well but you can't replicate the back tightness required for a deep and properly done good morning.
How about: Do both

it took a long time.
Every week one or two sets of 10, with with straight legs, only going as deep as possible, over time my ROM increased, when i became competent, i started using progression.
