I'm not sure this is a good idea: Could I keep a 1-1.5 inch pleco (either bristlenose or rubberlip) in a 3.5 gallon tank for a week or two as quarantine? I have an extra Tetra Whisper 10 filter on an established tank that I could borrow, so it would be cycled, I have a piece of driftwood that fits, and I would do daily water changes.

Anyone think this would be alright?
 
Yeah, I think thats fine. I kept my last bnp in a 2.5g qt for a little while and it as fine. :) Since its so small, a couple weeks in a small tank will be no big deal at all.
