Very good overall.

There is a difference between "separate components" and "template-
based approaches that should be identified.  Using separate components
includes an extra level of indirection, which trades off extra space
and time for the ability to select the implementation at run-time.
Using template-based approaches provides optimal space and time
efficiency in return for constraining the implementation selection to
compile time.

Minor errors:
Replace "when its reasonably to use" with "when it's reasonable to use".
Replace "Template based" with "Template-based".
