Let me preface this by saying that the old standards exist for a reason. You rarely see the best players pull off anything but the “basics” as far as subs go. Marcelo’s got his guillotine and RNC, Roger Gracie has the arm bar and cross-collar choke, etc. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with using “the same damn submissions”. For an MMA example, Ronda Rousey is so skilled at the arm bar that it’s the ONLY way she wins fights. It’s not like her opponent’s can’t see it coming, but her skill level at it is so high that it doesn’t matter. THAT’S the kind of skill you should go for: having a handful of techniques you do better than anyone else, instead of a bunch of techniques that you might not do that well.
With that being said, it looks like most of your subs come from the guard position. If you want something REALLY unique, check this out:

If your gym doesn’t allow spine locks, try this instead:
