For me, it really depends on your type of content and members. For hardcore sites, I use very little design in the members area and just rely on the content, for solo girl sites I use nice design throughout the site, but, I make the actual galleries open in a new window, but the gallery selection page has design elements. The actual galleries are just thumbs with navigation (next, index, prev) inside a white table using the design background image on the page, this way if you change the look of the site you don't have to go back and redo each and every gallery.
