Answers:
Definitely straight bar.
If you position your arms (without weights) in front of you as if you were going to curl with an ez-bar, take a look at your biceps and notice the amount of flexing that is going on. As you're doing this, slowly twist your wrists into the straight bar curl position. You will notice that your biceps are going to flex even more in this position. This clearly shows that you're going to get a better concentration of muscle usage with the straight bar. Trust me...it works better.
