Pros and cons of each? I'm looking to purchase web space and I can't decide on which one to get.

Completely different IMO. I use WordPress as a blog, and SmugMug as my website. I don't think I would want to do without either.

I use wordpress as my blog the free version and actually like it.
I own a domain but havent set up a site yet.

I have both. While I only have the free WordPress site (for my photo blog), I wouldn't be using it to display large numbers of photos or as a gallery. It can take a while to upload each photo. Smugmug is obviously set up to display (and sell) large numbers of images.

Same here. Best way to integrate it IMO. SMugMug is great for online photo hosting.

I've just set up a wordpress site, but I am hosting it with go daddy because I wanted more space. I use wordpress as my main site and smugmug to hold full size images for selling. I don't really use it as a blog, I have a small portfolio with links to galleries, and I'll just do blog posts when I upload new photos.
