Hi,
The contact page is quite easy to create as a fixed page, normally a contact page is rarely updated so is very easy to maintain, creating it as a CMS page is not too difficult either, just have like you already suggested a "contact template", which you setup however you like and load whatever bits of data you like from the CMS.
The Gallery is ideal for a CMS page as it makes things much easier to maintain the CMS could allow for the following things:
image upload
batch image upload
auto thumbnail generation
captions
categories, etc
A Gallery is a bit more involved, depending on how many features you want to include, if your not too concerned about updating the Gallery then a fixed page is a quick solution.
From a CMS point of view, your need some kind of media management within the CMS, where users can upload images, probably store the paths of images, captions, alt tags within the CMS.
When setting up your gallery within the CMS, give the user the option to select images from media management, then render the gallery from whatever images the user has chosen. This is a simple solution and can be more complex depending on what your trying to achieve.
