From personal experience I think elbows up, scapula pressed together (like in the bench) is the best cue. Scapula together is more important if your grip is wider, since a closer grip automatically leads to decent position.
Those two cues + a vicious back massage all but cured me of the elbow/biceps pain I experienced squatting.
