Personally, I like the usuals because I don't eat/make them any other time of year.
I made Donald Link's Green Bean Casserole last year and it was a big hit.
John Besh's Mirliton and Shrimp Dressing is fantastic. Made it last week and making it again tomorrow. If you're not from New Orleans area, this will probably be considered "different" to your guests as well.
I'm a sucker for a good cornbread dressing, but someone else usually makes that so I don't have a recipe I can vouch for.
You could always use fall produce to make something a little different than the norm -- like a brussels sprout and cranberry slaw.
Or (I made this the other day) Sweet Potato and Andouille bisque.

Aside from turkey and ham, It's not Thanksgiving without cornbread dressing. Not just any cornbread dressing, it has to be my moms recipe. I don't eat anyone else's cornbread dressing. Glad I learned to make it like hers or I'd be in trouble.

Oyster dressing is the most coveted side dish at my family get together's by a long shot.

All the sweet potato casserole (pie, whatever). All. Of. It.

I make a killer andouille and taso cornbread dressing. It has become a friend and family favorite for the holidays. I have also modified the recipe to add it to stuffed redfish /flounder, etc.

I like Paula Deen's corn casserole. It's really easy to make, too. Ignore any cardiac arrest after consuming.

All variations of green bean casserole should be banished to Piccadilly and Cracker Barrel where they belong.
If God had intended for us to eat green bean casserole, it would be good enough to eat year round. Fortunately it is confined to just 2 holidays a year.

Mirliton dressing is the only side that is an absolute must for me. If one Thanksgiving my mom ever decides to not make it I'm going to flip everyone off, kick over the table, and take my arse to a Chinese restaurant.

Spinach Madeline

Spinach Madeleine is one side we always have with thanksgiving at our house. I think it's from the river road recipes cookbook
