My biceps are my strong point, i usually do 4 sets of 6-8 on the preach for short head, 4 sets of bent over dumbell curls , then i do standing barbell curls on the wide grip of curl bar to get my long head. I think that preacher curls add more mass than any other curl for the fact that its pure short head, and thats what 80% of your bicep muscle is.

I hope youre already doing SQUATS, DEADLIFTS, and Bench.!!??!!
I used to hammer my arms and neglect the major movements. Well, now I do the major movements and neglect the small stuff(curls, skulls, etc) I'm bigger now then I ever was.
If youre not doing squats, dl's and bench that IS were it is at.

People do...I don't.
don't sleep on preacher curls. i didnt really see gains in my biceps till i incorperated preacher curls in my workout. i save them for the end, when i really wanna "hammer" away at them before leaving.
preachers are responsible for your lower part of your bicep. (at the elbow)
...and peak.
lets just say you need them.

Too many people focus on the isolations when trying to get their biceps to grow and forget that you can move a ton more weight with the huge compounds. As was said - rows, deads, even chins, they all allow you to load way more weight onto your biceps than curls can. Don't get me wrong, I think preacher curls, incline curls, etc are good because of the stretch, but don't rely on them for your major bicep growth.
Also, don't forget your triceps.

You will most likely have to put on overall body mass to increase your bi's. Your bi's are not the only things that will grow. For me, it usually seems to take about 10lbs of body weight for my arms to grow 1 inch. Thats ALOT of quality foods, alot of heavy lifting(squats, deads, bench) and I also try and get 8hrs of rest a night. Focus more on heavy compound movements, if you have any energy left over AFTER your heavy compound movements then hit your bi's w/some curls or preacher curls or whatever, get your diet in check, drink a bunch of milk, don't over train, rest. You'll grow.
