Would there be any reasons not to use nickel aluminium bronze and inconel in the same environment.

In what sense: electrically connected? What environment? Coupled in seawater, the NAB will be the anode and will suffer enhanced corrosion. How much depends on many additional factors.

NAB has pretty good corrosion resistance, but a couple with 625 would drive selective dealloying. If they are not coupled it should be fine.

They would be coupled together to form a valve body and seal and would be in contact with seawater.
 
We normally would be using Monel 400 but have no stock. We need to find a replacement material fast and have 625 in stock.
 
I would not suggest that 625 has good enough crevice corrosion resistance for a seawater valve seat. Try looking for one of "C" type alloys.
