Need a bit if help choosing the best kind of araldite to use!
If I'm correct the standard 5-min isn't the strongest. Does it follow
the slower drying ones (eg 30 min) set to stronger bonds?

More or less yes.
But epoxies are many and varied, and there is a huge range for
industrial uses - essentially you can juggle setting times, brittleness,
strength, temperature range etc etc almost ad infinitum.
What you buy in a shed is merely a cheap stripped down version of one of
these deemed 'suitable for domestic use' and put in a fancy pack and
marked up 30000%.
