What component are you looking at? Both alloys have their advantages.

from what i read somewhere there's not to difference, 6061 just needs a bit more working on than 7005 to reach roughly the same specifics;

7075 is a different case though

Definatly 7005. 6061 is going to be lighter, and less stiff but not as strong.
