    5-6 sets of EACH is the wise decision.
    There are plenty of variations of lower body movements that don't require using the leg press.

    Which ever you choose, you're going to get a good leg workout.

    This movement works well for me

    Rip away.
    I did this too for far too long. It didn't do much for my quads but may hams benefitted and my ass ended up growing like crazy. I don't do these anymore.

    I don't like the restriction of the smith machine in a squat movement either. However, I have heard it's good for building up the quads without expanding the waistline for those who are prone etc. Whether or not this is true, I don't know.
