I think the one where it's a king and rook mate but the bishop is also checking, it has only been done once

Only been done once? Wow, that is rare.

actually it is doubly disambiguated bishop checkmate.what you wrote is about the second

It seems like the doubly bishop one has been done so much it's not rare anymore. One that's only been done once, or even never, would be more rare.

The triple double is more rare. The double check on three consecutive moves that results in checkmate. Definitely more rare than the double dismembered bishop checkmate.

I don't remember ever seen "en passant" checkmate. Never thought of this possibility, tbh.
