Also, consider whether you will be using ToscaWidgets or TGWidgets. The templates for TGWidgets MUST be written in Kid (AFAIK, please correct me if I'm wrong), and you cannot nest one type of widget inside another(again, AFAIK).
One of the design goals of TW was to enable easy swapping on template languages within widgets themselves, so it adds more flexibility, and better potential for code reuse. It shouldn't be a major factor in your decision, and I'd recommend going with TGWidgets for now (at least until the docs for TW are finished...Alberto? nudge, nudge...:). That means that if you write any custom widgets or override templates for any widgets you use, you will need to use Kid for those templates. This does not affect your choice of template engine for your PAGE templates in any way, just be aware that if you use Genshi + TGWidgets, you may have to write some Kid as well.
