errrr both options you have listed are the same

Assuming its exhausting hot air OUT, then I would

Roof
Rad
Fans (blowing up through the rad and out the case)

I have in mine fans pushing air through the rad then out through the roof, due to my case I also have fans on top of the roof grate pulling air through too. so it's in push pull config.

Yeah I normally have fans pushing through the rads when on top...
roof
rad
fans (blowing out)

It's also arguably easier to mount due to not having to line up fans and radiator holes to screw from the top.

If you go roof, fans, rad, then you can clean the rad easier when it gets dusty. Tradeoff is, the rad pipes may foul stuff
