As you probably know... everthing boils down to time and money. 316L can be used in a lot of (relatively) short-lived applications.... not everthing has to last 30 years or more. Titanium sheet is great for any application that has chlorides and requires large areas to function ( i.e. plate-frame heat exchangers, for example)
My own, limited experience is that Hastelloy C is used as a last resort..... where simply nothing else will work, or anything else must be replaced too often. Remember, repeated, frequent replacement of (cheaper)metallic components still can be the best course of action..................................MJC
