Here's a table of weld properties based on the two base alloys and the weld properties you most value. It's best to print it out and tape it together. You pick your base alloys off the edges and the intersection of the base metals provide codes for weld properties for most common fillers. For a tank I'd usually pick 5356 for 6061/6061 due to the high ductility of the weld. I would expect 1100 to be very ductile too but not sure about the rest of the weld properties.
