Ti is also very expensive. I did find both t-bar and rolled style hose clamps in 316 at McMaster-Carr.
http://www.mcmaster.com/#hose-clamps-and-tube-clamps/=1xxrsh http://www.mcmaster.com/#hose-and-tube-clamps/=1xxqeb The t-bar clamps have a smaller clamping range (8mm for a 2 3/4" hose)and are about $8 each, the rolled style clamps have a greater range (26mm for a 2 3/4" hose) and are around $3-$4 each. The t-bars have a greater clamping force. The rolled edge clamps I wouldn't have to exactly match the clamps to the hose so fewer clamps would cover more hoses. I think I will go with the rolled edge 316 clamps and closely inspect them every few years.
