I'm in the middle of implementing Custom Node Template as a feature on a new site. Since it's going to be updated by a large number of people it would be nice to either limit the display of the Custom Node Template on the node creation page through permissions on a per-content type basis or have a toggle when creating a content type.

Personally, I think having a toggle on the content type creation form would be the best implementation, but I wanted to get everyone's opinion first before I started working in that direction.

I've also just implemented this module and wanted similar functionality. My site needs to control which node types have this functionality and also has to only list relevant tpl files. I was thinking that building an admin form where you could choose node types and then select the tpl files. Another approach would be to place tpl files in template folders and then select the relevant folder for a given node type. That might be a bit hard to maintain, so maybe just the node type selection for now and a list of node.tpl files. Would be happy to submit a patch for this if there's interest.
