Isn't the Stetson Temple a new name for their original Indiana Jones hat?
Kevin@ JJ Hats has a nice video of the latest Stetson hats.

A modern Stetson is as good as any other modern factory hat, IMHO. If you like the Temple, get the Temple.
If you can find a Stetson New York, it is an open crown hat in Stetson's excellent quality felt, which is among the best currently made. If you happen to be 7 1/4 or 7 5/8 one two Mini Ranch has it for you: http://www.one2miniranch.com/stetson-new-york-100-beaver-open-crown-fedora-hat/
JJ has some of the Royal Deluxe versions left

If you're ok with the pre creased look, Stetson also makes the Pinnacle, which is the same as the Temple but in excellent quality felt.
The other popular hat is the Fed IV:
