What methods can be used to correctly determine the parity of each type of function?

If you insist on domain symmetry, it should be part of the test:

With[{dn = -1 <= x <= 4},
 ForAll[x, Equivalent[dn, dn /. x -> -x]] // Reduce]

Pitfall: written this way it gives True:

dn = -1 <= x <= 4;
ForAll[x, Equivalent[dn, dn /. x -> -x]]

I myself would investigate parity this way first:

f[x_] := 1/(a^x - 1) + 1/2;
Reduce[f[-x] == -f[x], x]
Reduce[f[-x] == f[x], x]
