Hi
I would strongly recommend a version with wicket templates. Wouldn't it be the most important reasons for using a Wicket CMS that you don't have to deal with any scripting language but plain html ? So I would prefer Number 2 (use Wicket templates, but create additional, CMS specific tags for 'auto-include' of components.)
