6082 is kind of like the European version of 6061. 6082 is not common here and 6061 is not commonly available in Europe - they are darn close to identical in all reality. Depending on the source, one may be slightly stronger than the other but in reality they are basically interchangeable.
2000(2024 specifically) series and 7000(7075 specifically) series are the strongest aluminum alloys. 6000 series alloys are considered medium strength and are by far the most commonly used, as they are less prone to cracking, more widely available, highly machinable, easily heat treatable, and less prone to corrosion. :)
