Typically 7075 machines better than 6061. Being harder the tools tend to gum up less with 7075 and you can machine faster. Typically we could machine 7075 30% faster than 6061 in my shop using the same end mills and tooling. It was easier for us to get a cleaner finish with 7075 as well.
I will say 6061 welds much easier than 7075. 7075 can be welded but the welder really needs to know what they are doing.........
