Comment (by SimonKing):

 I think it is a good idea to have GF mentioned ''both'' in the
 documentation of unique representation and unique factory, since it
 explains one detail one can base one's choice on.

 Namely, as an example of a behaviour one can not get with
 `UniqueRepresentation`:
 {{{
 sage: type(GF(5))
 <class
 
'sage.rings.finite_rings.finite_field_prime_modn.FiniteField_prime_modn_with_category'>
 sage: type(GF(25,'x'))
 <class
 'sage.rings.finite_rings.finite_field_givaro.FiniteField_givaro_with_category'>
 sage: type(GF(5^10,'x'))
 <class
 
'sage.rings.finite_rings.finite_field_ext_pari.FiniteField_ext_pari_with_category'>
 sage: type(GF(2^20,'x'))
 <class
 
'sage.rings.finite_rings.finite_field_ntl_gf2e.FiniteField_ntl_gf2e_with_category'>
 }}}
