I read the enjoinder against archive shots as more a plea than a prohibition
and intend to treat my interpretation as definitive. ;^) But I'll submit some
new stuff too. (I've already taken one picture and have plans for two more,
although I'll need the weather to cooperate for one of them.)

All else equal, new shots are probably better than archive shots, if for no
other reason than that they tend to match the mandates better. But in this
case, given the (arguably justifiable) denigration of clichés, I agree with
Bret that you may not be able to have it both ways.
