Barbell Curl or dumbbell curl?

Greetings, Fitness-Community!

I am fortunate enough to have both barbells and dumbbells at home, so I definitely want to integrate them in my program in the best possible way. I am training in kickboxing since a few years, and was used to train with an calisthenic approach, using my own bodyweight. However, since a few weeks I finally have got my home gym assembled and started to pump the iron.

Since I am still new to weight-training I am wondering how barbell curls and dumbbell curls compare. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

About me:
As I said, i am training in kickboxing, also trailrunning is one of my passions, so it should be obvious that I do not aim to become a bodybuilder or a powerlifter of any sort. My overall training-goals are strenght, cardiovascular fitness, muscular endurance, agility; overall athletic ability, I think you get the main idea. I would not be opposed to gaining some pounds of lean muscle (quite the contrary, I would definitely welcome it!), but overall, aesthetics play at best a tertiary role in my training plan.
