straight bar curls, as everyone else has said, if your wrists can take it, and lift heavy, but with good form, a bit of body language in a movement isnt going to kill you but keep it tight and heavy and they will develop eventually.

jim is an unknown quantity at this point
one arm preacher curls are the best but when you do it dont go all the way down because you get bad elbows also make sure you feel both the inner and outer head doing the work together by keeping your arm straight.

That question is a little bit broad G1, it depends entirely on how you perform them!! if you do alternate hammer curls the brachialis, if you supinate your wrists during the movement you bring in both bicep heads and the brachialis. without any supination and the palms facing up the emphasis is on the bicep heads alone.
