I'd rather pyramid the sets. As you decrease the reps you increase the weight a tad bit.

I'm currently following D4DS and this is how I handle Incline Dumbbell Curls.
First Set: 10 reps at 25 pounds
Second Set: 8 reps at 25 pounds
Third Set: 6 reps at 30 pounds

I don't know what routine you are following, and now that I read your question again I'm not sure the answer I gave is answering it. Elaborate on your question if this didn't help.

you want to try and improve on at least one thing(weight or reps) each week so yes that would be good.
