In general I'd like to understand which templates to use when, when I'm making new iPhone apps. Could anyone offer some guidelines, tips, rules-of-thumb?
Also, how much should I agonize over this? If I start off with the wrong one, can I add the missing pieces manually, is it hard?
For reference here are the choices I'm seeing:

Using the Template First, close Xcode, then reopen it for your changes to take effect. Go to File ▸ New ▸ Project… to open the New Project dialog. Scroll to the bottom of the iOS category and select your View Model App template. Click Next.
Changing the target name is just as simple. Click on the project name at the top left, then select a target name on the right pane followed by pressing "Enter". Type in the new name. @Alan, in Xcode 6, this was changed to a square icon, with a bolded line on the left side.
Launch Xcode, then click “Create a new Xcode project” in the Welcome to Xcode window or choose File > New > Project. In the sheet that appears, select the target operating system or platform and a template under Application. In the following sheets, fill out the forms and choose options to configure your project.
Choose the project in the Project Navigator on the left. Select the Configurations target from the Targets section and click the Build Settings tab at the top. The Build Settings tab shows the build settings for the Configurations target. It's possible to expand this list with build settings that you define.
In iPhone Development Quick Start, from Apple, you have a brief description of each:
- Navigation-Based Application. An application that presents data hierarchically, using multiple screens. The Contacts application is an example of a navigation-based application.
- OpenGL ES Application. An application that uses an OpenGL ES–based view to present images or animation.
- Tab Bar Application. An application that presents a radio interface that lets the user choose from several screens. The Clock application is an example of a tab bar application.
- Utility Application. An application that implements a main view and lets the user access a flipside view to perform simple customizations. The Stocks application is an example of a utility application.
- View-Based Application. An application that uses a single view to implement its user interface.
- Window-Based Application. This template serves as a starting point for any application, containing an application delegate and a window. Use this template when you want to implement your own view hierarchy.
