My thoughts on a template are that it's best to have something set up with your routing/reverb/panning mostly in place then load the instruments you need for each song. Because the instrumentation will (probably) always be slightly different for every piece you compose. That gives you the freedom to vary your instrumentation easily as well as pull whichever library suits the needs of the composition while it forcing you to reconfigure routing and mixing minutiae every time. At least, that's what's been working for me lately.
