So given that post 2009 tdi s got a bad rap for HPFP failures, and given the fact that , unless I missed something , 2015 "fixed units" come with a decent warranty, is there a consensus as to which post 2012 units offer the best value. In Canada if that makes a difference.
Consensus or ???

2015s don't seem to be holding their value well in the past year, due mostly to massive $5-8K incentives for buy/lease on the new old stock cars in spring/summer of 2017. It's a good time to buy. I don't think they'll drop much more, and may actually retain most of the value since they're possibly the last generation of TDI ever offered in N America.
It's not out of the realm of possibility to buy a nearly pristine used 2015 with under 30K miles for under $15K. I'd call that the sweet spot. Assuming no warranty disqualifying mods or tunes, you'll have an 11-year (from inservice date), 162K mile warranty on the entire fuel system, emissions system, turbo and engine as well.
EDIT: I see you're in Canada. I can't speak confidently on the prices up there.

value is all in the eye of the beholder or beerholder
I'd put a premium on a 2015 over any other gens/years, but if it was 5-6K more compared to a 12-14 Passat/JSW same condition same miles, I don't think it'd be worth the extra coin.

I paid 27k for a '15 GSW TDI DSG Highline last winter @ 2,5% on 3year.
I've look around and that's still pretty much for what they goes

To answer your question regarding the HPFPs, the CRUA in the '15 Golfs and Sportwagens is a different, "improved" unit than what was installed in the earlier cars that had the high failure rate. I still use a biodiesel additive (~2-5%) to help with lubricity.
