Personal opinion, but I like fast templates.  It is fast as the name would
imply, and I find it much easier and lighter than the phplib template
system.  I believe one of the major differences between fasttemplates and
the phplib implementation is that the phplib one allows you nest your
templates.  I have never had a need to do this, so I am not sure if
fasttemplates supports this.

On the other hand, if you have an application that uses phplib extensively,
it may be easiest just to use their template system also.  Additionally,
there are a lot of other template implementations out there.  I know you can
find some others at http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com and
http://www.hotscripts.com .  The 2 that you mention are the most popular and
trusted ones, though.
