Now if you use the customise your templates with customize and save them, it will be saved in the custom-set-variables block. For the current session of emacs you might not experience any problems, but when you restart emacs depending on which comes first the setq or the custom-set-variables your templates will be set accordingly. It is difficult to predict for me which will be the case. For more on this you can look here[1]. Hope this helps you understand the issue with what you are attempting.
