This definitely looks like a case for apply-templates.

Instead of a named template name="printListSales", have a template rule

<xsl:template match="element[normalize-space(.)='printListSales']">

and similarly for the other possible values,

and then do

<xsl:apply-templates select="element"/>

and it will choose the right one.
