Barbell curls are the staple of your bicep training mainly b/c it the biggest compound movement you can doi for them. No matter how far along in your training you are, you should more or less be using this exercise in some form or another. That doesn't mean there arren't many other exercises that are great to incorporate of course.
The "best" will be an individual matter in terms of how it "feels" to you, and how well it "pumps you up." However, what is more important is what group of movements you use, how intensely they are performed, and HOW they are performed.

a regular bar. There is a reason it is called an EZ curl bar, part of the function of the bicep is to twist the wrist so when you are able to turn in your wrist, it makes the lift easier.
I always thought an EZ-Curl bar's purpose was to take the stress off of your wrists, opposed to a straight barbell which tends to strain the wrist.
