I am using the following mod to load different template files based on what category is chosen. I thought it might be beneficial to others:

In content.tpl

{if $content == "categories"  || $content == "category_products"}
	{if $category_data.category_id == "26" || $category_data.category_id == "20" || $category_data.category_id == "36" || $category_data.category_id == "27" || $category_data.category_id == "37" || $category_data.category_id == "43" || $category_data.category_id == "42" || $category_data.category_id == "7"}
    {include file="categories_pages/categories2.tpl"}
    {else}
    {include file="categories_pages/categories.tpl"}
    {/if}

This way you can have different looks for different categories (e.g. grid or list layout).

You can do the same thing to load a different template for a product:

In content.tpl

{elseif $content == "product_details"}

    {if $product.product_code=="RTN"}
    {include file="products_pages/product_details_labels.tpl"}

    {elseif $product.product_code=="ANN"}
    {include file="products_pages/product_details2_hidden.tpl"}

    
     {elseif $product.product_code=="ANN45"}
    {include file="products_pages/product_details_sonanddaughter.tpl"}

   {elseif  $product.main_category == "26" || $product.main_category == "20" || $product.main_category == "36" || $product.main_category == "27" || $product.main_category == "37" || $product.main_category == "43" || $product.main_category == "42" || $product.main_category == "7"}
    {include file="products_pages/product_details2.tpl"} 
        
    {else}
    {include file="products_pages/product_details.tpl"}
    {/if}
