Default Scroll saw blades?

What blades are everyone using in their scroll saws for cutting aluminum? What brand? Teeth count? When I got my scroll saw I bought a harbor freight pack of blades that had many different teeth counts. I could only use half of them on aluminum and I have used those up so now I am looking for buying just the blades I need. Ebay, home depot, dont care I just need them. Id also like to find some thick blades that have a fine teeth count for making straighter cuts. Does anything like that exist?

Thanks

x2 on the highest TPI.

Rub a candle on the aluminium before you cut it.
Or pour a little diesel on it.
It will prolong the life of your blades and make cutting a little easier.
