It is more a matter of workflow.
When working on 3D, you make a skelleton and make it move. No matter the texture you put on the skelleton, the skelleton movements are already done.
On sprites, every posture, every moment, requires a work for each individual image of a single movement, then work the same for the same movements from the back and the sides, then do that work again for each item used, each wound suffered etc... The sprites is the main cause of lack of variety. IMO, the sprite render well, sometime even better than 3D, but it is too nightmarish to work on to allow variety. Even if you want to change the color of an helmet, be ready to weeks/months of work.
About unique models, those are only an handfull in the first two games. Those are The Master, The Lieutenant, The overseer (two unique models), Gizmo (a variation of Vic), Frank Horrigan, the Wannamingo queen, maybe the US president, the chosen one as a tribal (has different hair than other tribals), and First Citizen Lynette. Some models are very rare, but not unique, like Vic, Orville Wright, Robodogs, Albinos talking molerats, Mordino henchmen, men in suits, or helmet-less BOS members.
