Smugmug allows custom domains, including support for https. It also allows for custom branding and layout design (your name here, powered by Smugmug).

I wasn't able to get a bare domain (e.g. domainname.tld) to work directly, so i set up a redirect to www.domainname.tld from there and it's been good for me. I don't know if that has changed since I set it up.

I can't speak for SmugMug specifically, but generally the reason you can't use bare domains to point to hosted services is that the hosted services want you to use a CNAME record so they can cycle in/out IP addresses at will. CNAME records aren't allowed on bare domains.

Custom domains only seem to be available from the "Power" plan upwards as as I can tell.

Besides custom domain: what are the pros/cons of Flickr vs SmugMug?

I guess it depends on your use case. I'm interested in having my own gallery I can share, rather than a Flickr page. I prefer "my photo gallery site" to "my pictures on Flickr", so for me the custom domain and branding is important. I don't particularly care about the community aspects beyond viewing the photos of some of my friends, so that piece of Flickr holds little interest to me. Of course when I set it up I was also very disillusioned about Yahoo and wanted to get away from that and into something that felt more sustainable.
