There are a lot of templating systems for PHP, but I chose Smarty because it seemed the most feature-laden, and likely to have continued support. I wanted to standardize on something, so I went for the most ubiquitous. Really, I couldn't be happier with it in every regard. At first it may seem like more than you need, but continue working with it and you'll find new design strategies that take you further than you ever thought you'd go. It's one of those things you start using and never look back. I use it on almost every project now, even small ones. There are the naysayers who complain it's too bloated for basic work, but I think the powerful benefits far outweigh any performance issues. I've never felt like it was slow or too much for a given task.
