The above blog is a good option, but you can also do it by creating a new custom edit button and adding it on layout and removing the standard edit button. 
Small example:
- the below code is for an edit custom button, it redirects to new account page for a recordtype and for all others, it redirects to a new contact page

var recTypeId = '{!Account.RecordTypeId}';
alert(recTypeId );
if(recTypeId == '01290000001ADgY'){ alert('if');window.location="/001/e"; }
else {
alert('else');
window.location="/003/e";}
