Although you have not provided enough information for a full assessment, most likely you want to use the regular MVC Template.

MVC Template

  • ASP.NET MVC was designed to facilitate patterns-based development practices such as test-driven development, separation of concerns, inversion of control, and dependency injection. The framework encourages separating the business logic layer of a web application from its presentation layer. By dividing the application into models (M), views (V), and controllers (C), ASP.NET MVC can make it easier to manage complexity in larger applications.

Single Page Application Template

  • The Single Page Application (SPA) template creates a sample application that uses JavaScript, HTML 5, and KnockoutJS on the client, and ASP.NET Web API on the server.

So the choice is quite easy. Unless you are planning to build a SPA using KnockoutJS, go with the regular template.
