I would like to send confirmation emails that are different depending on which product (not product type) is purchased. I sell a small sampling of products online – currently 5… 3 are simple, 2 are downloadable. Aside from varying different content/verbiage in the line items sections of the confirmation email, I would like to send completely different confirmation email templates if product A is bought versus product B. Different styles, different layout, etc. Has anyone done something like this before?

I don't have a working code for this, but here is an idea.
You can try to rewrite the
Mage_Sales_Model_Order::sendNewOrderEmail()
method and use different templates depending on the products ordered.The section in charge of determining the mail template to use is this:
You can change this in order to depend on the products.
To get the products ordered you can use in the function above:
You can create product attribute where you can specify what template to be used then you can decide based on that. Of course you will need to specify a priority in case 2 products are ordered so you will know what template to use. But you better your logic.
