Araldite was developed years ago before welding of aluminium could be done to join aluminium parts in the aircraft industry. In the last 70 years I would have expected to be considerably improved.

All those glues mentioned should work. The main requirement is attention to the surfaces before gluing. I suspect that failures in gluing are caused by the aluminium surface oxidizing before the parts are actually glued.
