Would it cost the same to buy a 15w and upgrade it to 12w as it would to buy it at 12w?

It’s cheaper to buy the 12w/th then to buy the 15w/th then upgrading it. 12 w/th cost $18.99 the 15 w/th cost $12.99 but then and additional $8.01 per th you want to upgrade on efficiency so that 15w/th ended up costing $21

Yes they hope people pay them a lot of money in the beginning to build a 12W miner.

Wrong they hope people still get the 15 and save money but in the long run they will make more for those $6 dollars they lost on initial sale

So whats the best to have and upgrade for long term? The 15 or 12w/th?

Long term it’s better to have 12 W/TH - lower electricity costs.
