Good N Numbers For Uniqueness
I decided to look at the frequency of letters in the FAA registration data base. I prefer a call sign that does not sound too much like many others...alpha one charlie is not ideal, because each letter appears frequently in the data base. Without further ado, here are the number frequencies in the data base:
Letter Frequency
Q 6734
Z 7789
Y 7821
U 8487 <-- three syllables ("uniform")
X 9758
V 11492
N 11637 <-- three syllables
K 13980
F 14233
G 14595
E 14860
H 15204
L 15467
J 16452
W 17454
R 18105 <-- sort of three syllables
P 18810
T 19218
B 19755
D 19863
M 20694
S 22241
C 23150
A 24157
0 86213
9 98009
6 100360
8 100457
7 105206
4 105560
3 107743
5 107807
2 116671
1 123302

I'm one of the lucky ones who got a short and meaningful N number, N6GY for my -6. From your frequencies it's also pretty low/unique. Also only has 4 syllables. Do I win?

67Q is available. Short and Three syllables.
Tailnum.com seems to be down. It was a nice way to search for available tail numbers.

Interesting information. It's worthy of some kind of Aviation Trivia question. I wonder if 90Q is available?

Hard to be unique when even the most under utilized character shows up 6700+ times.
I think uniqueness is derived more so from the assembly of the all potential characters than simply picking the leased used ones.
I'd put ease of speaking it at the top of the list. If you can do that plus pick something meaningful to you, all the better.
