if you have to have diamond grit ones, there are some that can be bought from B&Q for doing tiles, also there are those for cutting bricks,...
As noted for a few holes standard saws are ok.

it seems to be quite rough when it cuts on aluminum, really don't want to crack them

Sorry to not answer your question but respond anyway, but:
I find the Starret range of holesaws to be superb and very clean cutting through FG and Carbon etc...

I thought the general rule with GRP is that you actually don't want a super sharp drill and that a slightly blunt one works better because it
doesn't chip the gel-coat? Or maybe that's urban myth.

masking tape is a must, cut the hole undersize then make good with a dremmel with sanding bobbin on or cut out with the dremmel
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

I used a standard metal cutting holesaw, cutting through 2 layers of masking tape and joining the holes with
this, using a fine metal blade.

That certainly works for numberplates, blunt drill doesn't crack the top layer of plastic but a sharp one does.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

A tip for holecutting Fibreglass

I found using the drill in reverse made a super clean cut instead of ragging a hole through in forward drive.
I did all my steering and wishbone holes like this.
