Are all Superglues created equally?

Is the good stuff (like zap-a-gap) they same as the cheap stuff you find at dollar stores?

most definately not!
i dont use cheap ones at all, they take longer to dry, and if you use to much the vapours leave a nasty white haze on your model.
i use loctite superglues, gel type for normal building, regular for running along join lines etc
never used zap-a-gap, as im happy with loctite
cheers

I tried some cheapo stuff, very soon went back to Loctite. The cheap stuff didn't even set!

NO!
if you want quality you must pay extra for it but I too would not use a cheap CA now either.

I also use loctite. In my local hardware they have a neat little package where you get a small bottle of loctite attak thin glue and a free small tube of gel loctite attak. Both are great and are very different. When you need to play around a little .. the gel is perfect, but when you want speed .. the thin stuff does the buisness.
