You can try this

Apex Class :

public String SelectedRecordType {get ;set;}
public List<selectOption> getRecordTypes()
{
    List<selectOption> rTypes = new List<selectOption>();    
    for (RecordType  a : 
            [Select Id, Name,DeveloperName FROM RecordType 
            where SobjectType = 'Your_Custom_Object_Name__c']) 
            {
                rTypes.add(new selectOption(a.Id, a.DeveloperName ));
            }
    return rTypes; 
}

Visualforce Page :

<apex:PageBlockSection> 
                    <apex:PageBlockSectionItem >    
                        <apex:outputLabel value="Record Types:" for="Types"/>              
                        <apex:selectRadio value="{!SelectedRecordType}" id="rTypes" layout="pageDirection" style="margin-top:-10px;margin-left:-18px">
                            <apex:selectOptions value="{!RecordTypes}"> </apex:selectOptions>
                        </apex:selectRadio>
                    </apex:PageBlockSectionItem>
</apex:PageBlockSection>

You can use and rerender attribute to render Tables accordingly.

[SalesForce] Visual force page and record type

On VisualForce pages you cannot use the 'standard' Page Layout Assignment settings, since that only works with standard page layouts. Also if you use a VisualForce page, there's no use adding or removing fields from the standard page layouts, since you define the page layout in your VisualForce page.

So what you need to do is add a 'rendered=' attribute to your inputfields, where it checks the recordType and based on that renders the inputfield or not.

The different picklist values should already work once you've chose a recordType for your record.

For more help you'd need to post your visualforce page here.

[SalesForce] Display Radio buttons group in visualforce page

I had to use some JavaScript and HTML Input tag to work around this. This is extract from my code. So what this does is have an inputHidden in your code and set the value in this field in JavaScript onclick event.

<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!someList}" var="con">
<apex:column value="{!con.name}" />

<apex:column>
    <input type="radio" name="chosen" id="{!con.id}" VALUE="{!con.id}" onclick="changeValue(this,'{!$Component.RadioButtonValue}');"/>
</apex:column>    

</apex:pageBlockTable>

<apex:inputHidden value="{!contactId}" id="RadioButtonValue" />



<script>
function changeValue(input, textid) {
    document.getElementById(textid).value = input.value;
}   
</script>
