The best thing to do is to setup each template as a separate content type. =oP Try to categorise them and split them up over different document libraries so you don't have too many "New" options in the one library.
I know the problem you have though Paul, if users click "New" then a new document is opened/created, but the default save location is in the document library you clicked "New" on, whereas users just want to create a document based on these templates... If you have dozens of them then it would be easiest to dump them all in one library - but then you have this issue of creating new documents based on the templates. Sezai.
