On a corsair h50 what's generally the best positioning/fan config for the rad? The most common one I've seen is the rad up on the back of the case with the fan pulling air through from the outside so I was thinking I'd have it go fan pulling air in from the rear > h50 rad and then another fan up on the top of the case as exhaust?

Not my photo but the same case (nzxt source 220) with how I was thinking of setting it up. white being fans and the blue being the rad.

I've seen a few videos saying oh the difference between push vs pull vs push pull is negligible then others saying different, people with fans on both sides of the rad etc. I have 3 120s and the case has space for 5 120s/3 120s and 2 140s on top. sorry if it's a basic repetitive question but it's my first forage into the water world so I thought I'd ask just to be on the safe side.
 
I've got a H45 mounted the same as in the picture and it works well, temps at idle are around 20-21 C and at full load I don't think it goes much over 40 on an i5-6500.
