hamstring curls are ok, but theres way better exercises that can be done free weights
leg extensions are just plain retarded, horrible for your knees. stay well away

Barbell hip thrust: hits hams, glutes, and hips, I haven't done them in a while until this morning and forgot how GOAT of an exercise it is.

squats don't really work the hamstrings, and all the other movements you listed focus on hip extension, knee flexion is missing

Tried hamstring curls for the last couple months and developed knee pain. Moderate weight and good form.
A few weeks off and pain vanished. Never touching this shit again.

If you lift for bodybuilding then leg Extensions and leg Curls are necessary for that extra detail. I don’t think they add mucjh in strength benefits but they do increas size and detail a bit.
If you’re primary concern isn’t on the appearance of your legs then skip them. Leg curls are pretty safe as long as you go by feeling the muscle instead of lifting big weights.
Michael Richardson
Do squats and deadlifts you mong. There's your hip extension and knee flexion.
Lincoln Powell

Angel Wilson

Hamstring curls are great. You should be doing some sort of knee flexion movement, and it and the GHR are the only games in town. The GHR is generally considered better, but you can vary the loading far more with h curls. Subjectively, the lying machines feel better than the seated ones.
Leg extensions are fine unless you have knee issues, just don't be a retard.
