I am not real sure on the template thing, it looks to me like the first option is much more open on style so each page could look different but use the template. The second option since it has the <title> tag it seems like all you are entering is values into set formated tags this would cause all pages to look exactly the same only the data be different.

On the second thing?> and <? normally start and stop php pharsing. The way it is used in your example seems really strange to me as the $this->template seems to be something from a class. What would print out if that was put on the net is exactly what you see between?> and <? ".$this->template."

PS.... if none of this makes sense I appoligize I just woke up... there may be some typoes as well
