Although neither are technically territories I think that Nunavik and Labrador should be added to this discussion, too.

Rankin is a business and government centre for the West Hudson Bay region. Plus it is the western air hub for Kivalik region. Arviat being more south may get road access though, which would change everything. Plus Rankin has a large mine near by.
If I had to live north of 60 it would be Whitehorse. But my love of the country is Nunavut. Wild spectacular scenery. not to spoiled by humans. Favorite place is Pond Inlet. its going to be about 5 ears since I last traveled north. Since I left Stantec chances are not going back ant time soon. Current employer does do work up north just not my division. (Yet).
Wife and I plan a driving trip to Tuk in the next few years. Before we cannot do it.
As for the road up the Valley. The road gets a bit more built out every year.
