Update
The thumbnails in the dropdown menu only worked in Firefox and Safari (but very badly in Safari). So I took another route. I put the templates in their own expandable/collapsible div & offered them as radio button with images. This is viewable in all browser & separates it nicely from the other options in the admin panel.
In the category form, I added a checkbox to force the template on it's articles. Even if a different template is selected for the article, it will not be used if it's category has been set to "Force template on articles"
I also added "Use Site-Wide Template" as an option for categories & a "Use Category Tempalte" for articles. These are the "default" settings, so you don't have to expand the "Template" fieldset if you just want the content to inherit it's parent's template.
Try it out boys & girls
