It depends really on what content you have to put into the templates. I
am presuming that you're going to use one of these templates for your
own site? Anyway, I am basing this response on that (dangerous) assumption.

This is a layout that people are comfortable with. It's an easy-to-use
format, and the navigation is clearly set apart from the content. I
would personally say this is best suited to you site.

It's a familiar layout, like the above, but it really depends on whether
you have content that warrants having the third column. I don't
personally think that your site does, so I would probably not go down
this route.

Boring ;) It's too much like a 1996-everything-is-centred layout for my
liking, and doesn't look like it's taken anything in terms of thought or
design skills to put it together. You could probably make it look very
good if you spent a long time putting things together in Photoshop to
spruce it up a bit, but it lacks the pre-built design elements that
you'd get from using a column layout of some sort.
Yes I realise that your current design is based on this theme, but
evidentially you are looking for a change - so I suggest you make the
most of it and go for something more interesting.
