This probably comes a bit late, but have you considered http://phptal.org/ ?
The huge benefit of TAL ist that it's template code is valid XML, so
most HTML editors handle it pretty well with syntax checking etc.

I don't really have an opinion on Dwoo or Twig, but I'd consider the
following points:
* Dwoo: mostly written by a single guy. smarty compatibilty is a good
point though.
* Twig: maintained by sensiolabs, who also made the symfony webapp
framework. these slides also point out a lot of nice things about
Twig: http://www.slideshare.net/fabpot/twig-the-flexible-fast-and-securetemplate-language-for-php
