A good material to use is CD4MCu, a cast duplex stainless steel (UNS J93370). It's composition is 26%Cr, 5.4%Ni, 2.0%Mo, 0.04%C. We use it extensively in our mono-ammonium phosphate granulation plant, as well as the phos acid production facility.

I know it's available in Wilfley and Duriron pumps, and it is probably offered by other pump manufacturers as well.

The HA 28.5 you mentioned should be a good material. The others (654SMO and HV9) have higher Nickel content and will be higher cost without improved performance.
 
ASTM A890 lists several 25% chrome duplex stainless steel available as cast pump bodies. Flowserve, Union, Goulds, & sulzer also offer duplex sst pumps.
