Eh, while there are exceptions, I don't think rarity and AR's go hand in hand. Especially on this forum, I don't think you will find many that buy rifles/lowers/parts just based off of rarity.
I think the "rarest" lowers I ever had were AXTS billet lowers. I bought a few blems when they were still offered for sale as just lowers. I have to admit that AXTS was great on CS. At the moment, CA had pending legislation that would possibly make lowers impossible or more difficult to get, they sold me three blems (I was never able to find the "blem") at a discount.
I ended up gifting one to my brother, and then sold the other two.
They were and are great lowers, and today are considered somewhat rare.
For me, I just prefer plain forged lowers from reputable companies. I do like KAC ambi lowers as far as non traditional goes.
Thanks for all the comments so far, please keep them coming as I think I already have my eye on my next lower after being in the shop today.
But for today, to keep it simple, I went with the KAC lower. The shop let me test a Pmag and a GI mag to make sure there were no fitment issues, they also put a Magpul trigger guard in minus the pins to test that everything lined up.
The other brand that they offered was Stag, but they had mostly Areo in different colors and some with US flags engraved on the sides.
I think this will be a solid start to my AR pistol build.

The shop let me test fit a magpul aluminum trigger guard before I agreed to buy it, I was well informed about the issue before going in. If it wasn't correct I was going with the GEN III Noveske, but that was almost twice as much. Maybe next time!
They did have a nice Gen I noveske stripped upper and lower combo that looked nice, and a 10" Noveske complete upper in 300BLK that I might get if it's still there next month.

HD if you do have any issues rest assured that KAC will be very responsive. I'm not head over heels with either of the lowers I had, but man I can only say very positive things about their CS. Kay is pure awesome sauce.
