My biaised opinion is to use common_brackets.vim also. 
    http://hermitte.free.fr/vim/settings.php3#common_brackets_vim

pro:
* the work is already there
* it is independant of any filetype
* heavily configurable
* I will continue to maintain and support it as a core part of all my
  ftplugins
* a little documentation already exists.

cons:
* it is complex and may need to rewrite/delete some parts from vim-latex
  (only if '{' inserts '}«»', '[' -> ']«»' and may be '(' -> ')«»')
* it requires other plugins having a minor incompatibility with imap.vim
  (the name of the options for the open and close markers)
  BTW, pro: the marker system I propose is more advanced (in term of
  available options, features and complexity) than the variation of
  Gergely's function you include.
* did I said it is a big and quite complex piece.

Last point for tonight (may things to say about templates this weekend),
I prefer having thematic scripts. When something can be done as a plugin
only, it should be so. It helps to define more scalable systems and it
helps the maintenance.
