And you should use lib, if you want to be able to change things easily in
just one place afterwards.
You can find lib.whatever in the TSOB and changing a value there will change
every other part, which is using a copy or a reference of lib.whatever.
temp.whatever can only be found in the one template setup, where you defined
it. So if you want to change something you have to change exactly this setup
or each and every part where you reused it separately.
