These have some of the worst flickering of any brand, if you're sensitive to it.
What brands would you recommend for someone who absolutely can't stand flickering? I'm still running classic incandescents because I can't unsee LED flicker, but I'm tired of my power bill shooting through the roof every Christmas.

You'll never get a set of LEDs that are completely free of flicker, BUT I've found a few brands/types that I can actually enjoy, despite being the most sensitive to it of anyone I know.
I've heard good things about Tru-Tone if you're wanting to go for retro copies of multicolor C9s, but they're ridiculously expensive ($50-80 a set)
White, red, and green ones are easier. I bought a couple of sets of Home Accents Holiday lights that Home Depot sells (though I got them from a local discount store) and plugged them in for a few nights and was impressed enough to go back and buy a dozen sets. These are similar[homedepot.com]. The description doesn't mention them being "flicker free", but it should be on the physical packaging if they still are. If not, the 25 sets that can easily be found on ebay are. I'm pretty sure the 50 sets of that brand are also flicker free, but the 100 spools most definitely aren't. You can usually tell by the base of the bulb being larger.
Ace Hardware also has a good bit on their website that mention being flicker free, but I haven't actually looked at them in person so I can't vouch for them despite pictures/video looking pretty good. Their multicolor ones look closest to the classic incandescents without suffering from the neon blue thing that most do. Not as good as tru-tone, but not bad for less than half the price.
I tend to have good luck with the indoor/outdoor battery operated sets, too. Walmart sells the 100 strands for around $7 and I've had those last a few seasons. It's the electrical current from outlets that causes the flickering unless the strands are rectified, but batteries sets seem to bypass that issue.

Thanks for the recommendation! Yeah, battery powered sets should have no flicker at all, since they're pushing direct current.
Aside from the flicker, do the ones you recommend glow the same warm white color as traditional incandescents or is it the cold bluish-white glow of most LED christmas lights? And does the entire bulb actually glow or is there a hot spot at the bottom of the bulb from a base-mounted diode?

I may DM you an unlisted video of the red/white ones in a bit, but they're close. There's still a hot spot in the Home Accents Holiday ones, but it's further up in the bulb than most of the cheap sets, so it's closer to where a filament would be.
Tru-Tone do have a little bit of a hot spot, but here's a comparison[youtu.be] of them vs classic incandescent c9s side by side. By far the closest I've seen online, but I haven't ordered a set to see how they look to the naked eye yet.
this[youtu.be] is a video of the multicolor home accents holiday ones from a couple of years ago. They don't come in the opaque color anymore and only transparent multicolor, but you can still find them in new condition on ebay.
edit: sent you a DM with video of a set that I just shot. you may have to copy and paste the URL since it won't let me send a hyperlink through DM.

The "Super Bright" box shows they are "20% brighter than regular LEDs."
The "Ultra Bright" box (the deal on this page) shows they are "100% brighter than Super Bright LEDs."
Super Bright can connect up to 90 strands.
Ultra Bright can connect up to 45 strands.
This seems to indicate the Ultra Bright run twice the power consumption.
