What about trap bar lifts? (those hexagonal bar things you stand in the middle of) Because I've heard them sited as assistance for both squat and deadlift.
Good point, I guess I should take "Hack Squats/Leg Presses" apart. Hack Squat here means the barbell variation, where it is deadlifted from behind, not the shuttle press. I should add that to primary Deadlift Assistance, you're right.

As for trap bars, I considered them to fall under "Shrugs" as a rubric.
