I actually have both archive and category templates in my theme.

This is my archive page template

<?php
/*
Template Name: Archives
*/
?>

<?php get_header() ?>

<?php
$page_sidebar = 'full';
$spanContent  = 0;
$spanSidebar  = 0;
$check_page_sidebar = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'isc_page_style', true);
if($check_page_sidebar == 'full'){$page_sidebar = 'full';}
if($check_page_sidebar == 'left'){$page_sidebar = 'left';}
if($check_page_sidebar == 'right'){$page_sidebar = 'right';}

if($page_sidebar == 'left' or $page_sidebar == 'right'){
    $spanContent = 1;
    if($page_sidebar == 'left'){$spanSidebar   = 1;}
    if($page_sidebar == 'right'){$spanSidebar  = 2;}
}
?>

<!-- Part 1: Wrap all page content here -->
<section class="wrap">
  <!-- Begin page content -->
  <div class="container <?php if($spanSidebar == 1 or $spanSidebar == 2){echo 'full';} ?>">

	<div class="row-fluid">

      <?php endif; ?>
    </div>
    <?php } ?>

    <?php if($spanContent == 1){ ?>
    <div class="span8 filler">
