http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1277862 Is this similar enough to a gate valve to be used to create a full siphon on a herbie drain setup?

yeah, that can work where a gate valve would be used; a stop valve can be used to throttle down flow, so would work with an Herbie.
I would stick with a gate valve, looking at a cutaway picture of a stop valve looks like it would be easier to suddenly plug with a chunk of algae which seem to break loose in our overflows from time to time.

would a stop valve be ok to run off the return into a scrubber 6x8in?
