barbell squats are when you have one barbell in each hand at your side, while keeping your hands at your side, do squats.
Squats (and any variation of them: single leg squats, lateral squats, wide-stance squats), leg presses, and leg extensions (although these put a lot of torque on your knees, and should be avoided) are the most common and effective exercises to build quad muscles.
If you're referring to squats with nothing but your own body weight, you might as well not do anything. But barbell squats are the best exercise you can do. Learn to do it correctly, then do a few sets of 5-8 after warming.
Yes, any free weights are more effective, however this depends on your goals. If you want to define and tone your legs then machine excercises are better. But if you want to build quality mass I would go with free squats. Another advantage to the free squat versus the machine squat is that it forces you to be balanced and stabalize your core. Free squats is one of the most effective ways to pack on serious leg mass.
You can't preferentially add fat to a certain part of your body. Where your fat goes is determined by your genes. But if you want to add muscle to your thighs, the best exercise is barbell squats.
A good muscle building workout to do 3 times a week at the gym would be 1 set of 8-10 reps of each of the following: barbell squats, leg extensions, lying leg curls, dumbbell pullovers, military press, seated cable rows, barbell bench press, barbell curls, pull-ups, bench dips, standing calf raises and crunches.
Front squats work great to stabilize the front and side parts of your central core. Front squats are a variation of back squat in that the barbell is resting in front of your neck on your shoulders rather than on your back. If you're not used to the exercise it will be a little awkward but stick with it.
