Pull-air-thru-radiator also can work coz it been used in car.Since the fan usually located at the back of the radiator, it will pull outside air from the front thru radiator vent and at the same time help cool down the engine bay area.this is important especially if the engine running but the car is in static or idle state where no/less air rushing from the front naturally.if the car is moving, there's a lot of air rush thru the rads and the fan work less as it will only activated whenever necessary i.e.

If its other WC kits and other case, I prefer to install bottom mounted radiator with intake fan in push-air (thru the radiator) configuration coz obviously it will use cooler air from outside. However i'm not sure how's this gonna affect your radiator efficiency coz basically u take hot air inside the case to cool the radiator. If u opt for OPTION B and installed the radiator at the top, i guess u need to install the fan in push-air configuration (outtake). In term of flow also better coz hot air usually have less density (less weight) which make it flow from bottom (initially cooled air) to the top. OPTION B seems better if u put another 2 intake fan at side panel coz u still can maintain positive air pressure inside the case.

you'always want to have air pushed if you're only having fans on one side of the radiator. you will probably get 10c lower than what you'd get from these stress tests. prime 95 and furmark pushes your hardware to its max temps. u will never get that high running day to day applications.
