I like Revit pure template.

However I would use out of the box default Revit Architectural template.

Can you define what you mean by "good"? What's "good" for me is not necessarily "good" for all.  If you are just learning Revit, I'd suggest just sticking with the "Default.rte".  By the completion of your first project, you'll have the "ingredients" to make a custom RTE from that Project - one that is "good" for you.

100% what barthbradley said. 

I also don't understand what residential and commercial means for Revit. Revit works the same way for large commercial, small commercial, and residential projects. What you have in your template highly depends on your industry, firm, bid-environment, clients, personal preferences etc.

I constantly update my template to better serve MY needs. This template could be totally useless to someone else.

I am used to using AutoCad new to Revit and I have started a few midsize house design projects and I don’t have time to setup everything in Revit but would love to convert to Revit
But at East like to have my sheets set up and my floor plan and section views ready as well as reflected ceil in g plans and electrical sheets
I don’t want spend the time to set up everything from scratch specially since I don’t know Revit very well I would like to start with a clean but ready templates that even has typical single family details and sheet setup.
If I start a project I cad o have all of my sheets ready and I just need to adjust my view ports i would love to have the same luxury with Revit

At some point, I would strongly suggest learning how. You will need to know how it's set-up in order to modify it for your projects. In the mean time, you will need someone to do it for you. Anything you get for free is going to need some work so you may need to pay someone to work with you to customize it.

Ultimately YOU need to know how to use Revit and what YOU need. Revit is a very flexible tool that works for all kind of links in the AEC industry and all countries and markets. You could hire the best designer in the Universe to create a template for you. It may work for them, but not for you. 

I also end up editing my template all the time to fit my needs. Without using it in real life projects, you won't know if the template works for YOU. 

It is like adjusting the car seat for you. You could hire the smartest person to adjust the seat, but it won't fit YOU. 

When I was new to Revit I had an Architecture Revit book. It was the worst book ever since it started with and revolved a lot around setting up the template (and for other reasons). If you don't know how to use Revit in YOUR projects, you won't know what you need or want in a template. The skill to create a template is one thing. The knowledge what you want in the template is a whole other set of knowledge you need experience for.
