Quads:
1. Sissy Squats on a HacK Squat Sled. - Love it because you can get a good stretch and load them up pretty decently. They hurt like hell, and you can really grind out some reps.
2. Somersault Squats - Amazing stretch and isolation. Not the easiest to load or make huge strength gains on. Usually better for higher reps.
3. I love leg extensions for pump sets. Even though they are basic, you can do some real sinister stuff with them during a pump set.
Hamstrings:
1. Banded or Reverse Banded Barbell (or Smith Machine) Stiff Legged Deadlifts - Easy to load, bands take some weight off the bottom, making not only it easier on the low back, but more encouraging to take a full or deeper ROM
2. Gironda Hamstring Curl - Done on a machine or with a DB. I don't have a machine, so I'm limited as to what I can do with a DB. Amazing contraction.
