Www or https only
-
All pages are secure on my website now.
Some of my pages listed on Google are now https://domain.com and some are https://www.domain.com
Which format should I use and why? (with www or without?)
I want to give Google a new site map URL in the Google search console?
Yes I know both URLs go to the same page.

SEO-Wise it is the same whether you include the www or you don't, but since you mention that on some of the pages indexed it shows with the www and on others it doesn't, then you should do a 301 redirect to the option you like. Having both options accessible can make it possible for the search engines to rank them as different pages, although that would be unlikely.
I personally prefer not to include the www because I want my URLs to be shorter. Other people think that including the www can make the URL look a little more professional, but in the end it's just a matter of personal preference. As long as you stick to one option, you should be totally fine.
