A wider grip will take your biceps out of the movement moreso. It also seems to allow for a tighter/stronger contraction of the back.

When I try rows with an EZ curl bar, parallel to the floor, it feels SO much easier. Why is this? Is it due to the lack of balance involved with the weights closer in? If so, would the same amount of weight be as effective with an EZ curl bar, as it would with an oly bar?

Are you hands, stilll just as wide? Perhaps the bar thickness is different? Yes, it makes a difference. EZ bars are usually of a smaller diameter than that of a barbell.

But to be honest, I think you may be overanalyzing it a bit. In THIS case, weight is weight. So long as the workload is moving upward, you're making gains. Worrying about the minutia of which bar, is just going to stress you out. (An anecdotal aside would be, I'd go with the barbell as you said it's harder, and the bigger bar would help moreso with grip).
