I actually had a little argument with a project planner at work a few days ago about this. Worked with some 'mystery' aluminum and it was awful.
I was thinking in terms of bending tubes. Machining-wise I love 6061-T6, other than getting built-up edges on tooling I've always found it quick and easy to work with.
