First post ever. Let's say I attack with Sun Titan and choose to bring back Archetype of Aggression, would that attack from Sun Titan get first strike this turn or not? I'd say no but would like confirmation.

Archetype of Aggression is the trample dude. I'm assuming you mean Archetype of Courage. And yes, if you used Sun Titan's attack triggered ability to return Archetype of Courage to the battlefield, he would gain first strike and it would be effective in that combat. This is because the triggered ability return the creature to the battlefield before combat has reached a point where first strike impacts combat (namely, the Combat Damage step). By the same token, if someone then removed Archetype of Courage before the Combat Damage step, Sun Titan would lose first strike going into the Combat Damage step.
Short answer: Sun Titan would have first strike in time to take effect.
You would declare Sun Titan as an attacker. This would trigger Sun Titan's ability and return Archetype of Courage. Sun Titan would immediately gain First Strike. Since we haven't moved through combat damage step, you would get the two combat steps - one for first strikers (with Sun Titan dealing its damage) and then the non-first-strikers/double-strikers.
As long as Archytpe comes in before combat damage is dealt, any of your creatures will have first strike in time to matter.
Sun Titan's trigger is before the combat damage step, and thus early enough.
It will never have First Strike because Archetype of Aggression does not give First Strike. It gives trample.
I'm going to assume you meant Archetype of Courage which is the one that gives first strike. In this case, yes your Sun Titan has first strike during that combat.
The Archetypes all have a continuous effect that will apply as soon as it enters play.
Combat is divided into 5 parts. Beginning of Combat. Declare Attackers. Declare Blockers. Combat Damage. End of Combat. Sun Titan triggers during Declare Attackers and will return the Archetype then. Which will immediately give all your creatures first strike.
