Allow selection of template per entry type when setting them up.
This would permit entry type within a section to directly load a template instead of using Twig trickery.

It would also be great to have the ability to assign a template at the entry level. This could be achieved via an optional template field on all entries that would override the section or entry type template.

This could also be done by using dynamic routes to override the template for a particular URI. This would mean dynamic routes being allowed to override any section or entry type templates.

So the priority would be as follows:

1. Dynamic route overrides all
2. Entry template
3. Entry type template
4. Section template
5. Filesystem

+1 for this feature request. It seems like a faff not being able to do this when you want to use a different template for an Entry Type. The workaround in the docs feels a bit hacky/fiddly to say the least: https://craftcms.com/support/entry-type-templates Having an Entry Template field would be so much nicer for this.
