It is largely a matter of taste, both yours and your visitors. Some sites are for gaming where users enjoy a certain style. Other sites are for banking or medical companies where a high degree of professionalism is required. There are many business models in between.

The SEO related items I would mention regarding this template are:

• the home page has 57 internal links which is a reasonable number

• the page does not use any header tags such as H1 which is a design error in my opinion

• the site offers too many needed links in the footer in my opinion

A site I like for templates: http://themeforest.net/category/wordpress

Try searching for templates with a 5 star rating, and perhaps any "featured" designs (i.e. ones which have won awards or been promoted on the front page)
