For back MRs I really like unilateral movements, I feel like it lets me really focus on contracting each side maximally, which can get difficult on two-arm exercises as fatigue sets in later in the MR. Any kind of plate loaded rowing machine is a go-to for this, and pulldowns can be as well with a D-handle attachment. For free weight rowing MRs, especially two-arm variations, I prefer to do them dead-stop, meaning completely stopping the weight (but maintaining tension in my lats) on pins for a second at the bottom of each rep. This helps prevent form from getting sloppy as you get fatigued.
