In terms of Mozart sop/sop sacred duets, Ave Verum Corpus comes to mind. I
think that it was intended to be an SATB (correct me if I'm wrong) piece, but
I know that there are two part arrangements available (I would try ordering
through Patelson's in NYC). A couple of months ago I picked up a piece
called Sub tuum praesidium. I haven't heard it but it looks simple yet
pretty.

Outside of Mozart all I can come up with is:

Laudamus Te (Vivaldi's Gloria)-- a personal favorite

Esurientes (Vivaldi's Magnificat)

I think that there is also a sop/sop duet in Purcell's Come Ye Sons of Art
