Top it or leave it?

If you've taken action against pests, then it will bounce back whether or not you top it.
 
If you want to force it to branch now, top it.
 
It almost looks like it's been topped for you. I'd treat for aphids and let it be. Yes, it will recover just fine.

I'm with Phil, looks like they topped it for you. 
 
Pepper people are the only ones i've seen top plants down lower than the very first emergent new growth leaves. All you have to do is pinch that tiny new growth off and BAM topped. Looks like the aphids did that for you.
