Easy way - ListSort the list. The loop through the list once. If an element in the list has a different element before it, and after it, you know it must be unique. So only O(n) + whatever the O sorting algorithm is. Not a bad way to do it. (Could covert it to an array first, then do your stuff, and then convert it back - MAY be faster).
