Are all algaecides considered Polyquat???

Nope

So is Polyquat a name brand? I have to go to the pool store to pick up a check from them, and I want to go ahead and get the right stuff for closing this fall.

nope, it's really an ingredient. You want "Poly [oxyethylene (dimethyliminio) ethylene (dimethyliminio) ethylene dichloride" at 60% concentration.

This list is a little old, so may have changed:

GLB^® Algimycin^® 600
OMNI^® Multi-Purpose Algaecide 60
BioGuard^® Inhibit™ algae all 60^®
Sun Algaecide 60
ProTeam^® Polyquat 60
Robarb^® Pool Specialties™ Robacide™ 60
POOL Solutions Algae Prevent 60
