Bit for Aluminum cutting?

Projects
1

Anyone have any recommendations for an Aly cutting bit? I’m assuming 1 or 2 flute upcut, and carbide, but anything else I should consider?

I’m asking because my 1/8" bit carbide bit I ordered is WAY too short for my projects, plus I’ve pretty much ruined it, so I have to buy new but I’m wondering if I really need to spend $35+ …

I’ve been looking at this one ::

Most will agree on Destiny Tool’s Viper series
