A356 is the most popular. A380 aluminum alloy is also widely used for casting general-purpose die castings. It has good mechanical properties and is used in hundreds of applications including air brake castings, gear cases and air-cooled cylinder heads.
Aluminum6061, 7075, 5052 are typically used in extrustion and not suitable for diecasting.

Zinc Material for Die Casting (Available in China)

ZAMAK2 The strongest and hardest ZAMAK alloy.   Generally die cast, it is occasionally employed for gravity casting
ZAMAK3 The most used general purpose zinc die casting alloy, providing an excellent combination of strength, ductility and impact strength. It also provides excellent plating and finishing characteristics. 
ZAMAK5  
ZAMAK7  
ZA-8 Die Casting - Hot Chamber, provides improved performance characteristics over the ZAMAK alloys
ZA-12 Die Casting - Cold Chamber, Permanent mold 
ZA-27 Die Casting - Cold Chamber
ZA-35 Die Casting - Gravity Casting

See ASTM B86, B791, B240, B669
