What deflection of the clip are you looking for and what force do you require?

Well you need to calculate the stiffness of the spring first off with the dimensions you have, WR Berry's book on spring design has a very good graphical method of calculating the stiffness of springs similar to the one you have posted.
Once you have the stiffness you need to get your deflection and force sorted and then you can select a appropriate material.

try googling the book on line it should be fairly cheap to buy but you might get a free preview.

how critical is spring force ? 10% tolerance, 1% ?
are the parts very reproducible, or will you need to test and modify each one to get the result you need ?
