Every fingerprint in the world is unique. If you have 10 fingers, you have 10 unique fingerprints. I'd say every finger is rare because it is different than every other finger in the whole world.
If you are asking what patterns types are the most unique, it is arches (approximately 5 to 10%), then whorls (30 to 35%), then loops (60 to 65%).
Of course, there is some genetic bases to overall pattern formation, so what may be rare in a family can be different than what is rare in the world.
i have read about it being to unique to contain multiple kinds, like i have 3 different kinds on one hand, and on my other, my pointer finger has this weird splotched part that is totally different, i can't find anything about it, where my ring stops and there are spots in the circle, then it continues on..
