pull fans are always best, mounted IN the engine bay... and try to get one with a large enough shroud to cover a large portion of the rad

Puller in my opinion is best, I mean, when your drivin the air flows thru the radiator, so your pulling the air with the fan as your driving. You can get the Black Magic fans, there reversible depending on how you wire it, to pull or push.

If it's on the outside pushing air thru radiator, it's the same as being on the inside pulling. The air is going the same way. On a standard motor driven fan (fan clutch) it pulls.
