A guide to the composition types and what generations they are present in.
No type is all that scarce in an artificial way, which is to say, there isn't logic saying "only use this 1% of the time"... but some are naturally scarce because they only exist at certain generations.
For example, "Squared" are only at generations that are perfect squares, and "Homage" is only in generations 2 thru 6.
That said, it shouldn't be hard to get a certain composition type if you are minting at the generation it is available.

Everywhere.
Any generation.
All layers are full size and width and just stacked on top of each other.

Portal.
Generations 1-5.
Same as Everywhere but in a circle.

Poly.
Any generation.
Stacks of polygons. The deeper the generation, the higher the stack.

Homage.
Generations 2 thru 6.
Josef Albers paid homage to the square, this pays homage to that homage.

Subdivision.
Generations 2 and up.
Will randomly sub-divide each layer.

Bands.
Generations 2 and up.
Horizontal bands that are all the same height, sometimes with varying widths.

Stripes.
Generations 2 thru 50.
Like Bands but vertical.

Cubic.
Generations 3 and up.
The deeper you go, the more cubes you get.

Shadow.
Generations 3 and up.
The deeper you go, the more likely that each shadow with have a shadow of their own.

Squared.
Any generation that is a perfect square: 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100.
Perfect grids for perfect squares. This is a nice one to add the "&aspect=1" url param to if you want the full output to be square as well.

Spiral.
Generations 3 thru 25.
Sometimes these spirals can look like cubes, but they are drawn by sprialing, I promise.

Divided.
Generations 4 and up.
Always 4 quadrants, usually off-center. Each will have stacks of layers if you go deeper than 4.
Generations 4 and up.
Always 4 quadrants, usually off-center. Each will have stacks of layers if you go deeper than 4.
Slab.
Generations 10 and up.
The first few layers are basically taking up the whole space, but then it gets a little random, even if they are generally centered rects.

Structure.
Generations 15 and up.
Started as an homage to Andreas Gysin's Towers—at least in it's general shape—but many get off-center and a little haphazard to be true to that project, which is such a lovely project.

Tychs
(As in: Diptych, Triptych, Quadriptych)
Generations 26 and up. Generations are split randomly between the individual compositions.
From generations 26-50, a Diptych.
From generations 51-75, a Triptych.
From generations 76-100, a Quadriptych.
