For the forseeable future, I see myself using a rack to do squats and bench presses. The former because I don't trust my balance with or without safety bars, and the latter because I won't have a spotter 90% of the time.
I normally wouldn't worry about it, but rather recently when I was trying out a different gym I had to use a normal barbell holder for bench. Despite using a weight well under what I was used to, I found it much more difficult to keep things stable than I was used to. Was my previous training indeed neglecting stabilizer muscles, or was I just plain weak? (had been unable to work out for a few months prior)
Interestingly, this site lists more muscles than the basic Squat...
