I'd be interested in a description of how it's unique.  I like that
there are integer range types, though it's very hard to check statically
that a value is guaranteed to be in the permitted range.  The other
parts of Ada's type system that I've encountered seem pretty standard,
though I know there are parts that I haven't looked at and don't
understand.
