Perhaps it can help to reword your question a little differently. What if you develop something unique and then ask yourself "What song does this (the something unique) remind me of?" The something unique could be a riff, chord change, the mood it evokes or whatever but chances are "it" reminds you of some song.

Enter four or five bars of chords and set the tempo so they match the song you have in mind.

Go to the Stylepicker and search for that song title. It may help to check the checkbox for "Include similar". Narrow the list of styles by genre, tempo, feel until you have a small list of styles to work with.

Highlight the top style in the list.

Now check the checkbox for "4 bar preview", match the song tempo and select the gray play button just below the "Play current Chordsheet for song"

Go through the list of styles until you find something suitable.

By-the-way, you've asked a great question. There are so many styles to select from finding the right one can be a daunting task. You'll find it gets easier as you get more familiar with styles and the program.
