What's the best template library to start with?

[eluser]Apocryphon[/eluser]
I'm trying to convert a theme/layout from one of these sort of sites into a template I could stick onto all of my pages. As such, what's the best template library? At the moment I'm going for best-documented with examples so that I could fully understand how to use it, but that just means this simple example is the best right now. I would use Phil Sturgeon's library- it does have a lot of features- but I'm not quite sure how to implement it. Ocular is good as well, but is it better than Phil's? What else is out there, please, any suggestions are welcome!
