In all 3 of my completed games, I never, not once, found a single rare mod, no sniper, no onyx, no firestorm, no nano. Furthermore, seems I'm good at attracting situational exotics. translocator, phase shifter (or whatever it's called that makes enemies "tired", whatever), dragonslayer (when I'm not even a melee character), some weird rapid fire bfg (was it bfg10k? I forget) that wiki says can blow yourself up with random secondary explosions even if you shoot really far away form yourself, so I dare not use it...
Every game I finish with just a basic assembly to a basic weapon. qq.

In my experience, outside of Ao100, you aren't likely to find either a rare mod or a exotic that fits your build. Exotics DO seem a lot more common, and sometimes I've been able to find a fitting one (more often with rapid-fire builds if I recall correctly), but I don't think I've ever gotten the appropriate rare mod for the specific assembly I was hoping to make. Makes you really appreciate them, I guess!

You didn't mention the Armory / Deimos Lab. Do you visit and complete those? A high-level mod (might be replaced Cybernetic Armor) is guaranteed upon completing the level. Plus, you don't even need the higher mods to create some of the advanced or master assemblies. Otherwise, it's simply bad luck for you (and the same goes for finding exotic or unique items unsuitable for your build and/or challenge).
And being able to win with only basic assemblies and basic weapons is a display of some commendable skill, and a sign of a good player :).
Sylph:
Zicher is exactly right. Do the lab/armoury and you have a good chance of getting a good mod. I think you also get a schematic, but once you have discovered all assemblies, you get a mod instead of the schematic as well!
Regarding your unique finding - it's pretty rare to find 3 uniques in a single run, and I've not seen a BFG10k in years! I regard it as one of the best finds in the game, and it's a brute-force weapon, not what I'd call a situational exotic! :)
Thiebs:
I had forgotten about the Armory. Probably because I usually get myself killed by Shamblers. ;) Though it does remind me that I have found schematics for assemblies I already discovered before. So don't rely on those. (Maybe that isn't supposed to happen and should be fixed? Don't know.) And you don't get a specific mod, so don't rely on that, either. But there's nothing wrong with standard fare! :P

Are you sure? According to the Wiki, you can only receive schematics you don't already know. This would have been a bug then, probably.
I vaguely recall someone's post about how he arrived to the Armory, cleared it, picked up the mods and assembled a previously unkown assembly. And then he picked up the schematics, only to find that the schematics were precisely for the freshly assembled item. The conclusion was that the Armory rewards are generated upon arriving the to level, and as such, not a bug.
Oh, and to return to the rewards: Deimos Lab cache contains one more rare mod over Armory. Then again, it also contains one more Shambler over Armory ...
