As I’m starting to look for a tokenomics consultancy I’m finding that some charge a retainer and a percentage of your token. 

This seems like…a massive conflict of interest??

Why a conflict of interest? As long as their tokens are vested over a long term, it should align incentives. They would want your token to accrue value.

It still may not be what’s in your best interest, even if vesting is over a long period.

Fee for service removes the potential conflict. So I like that better.

It's similar to team members having company equity imo, it's cool if they have skin in the game. It'd be okay too if they just charged a fee for the service, if it's a process that takes a few months at most.
