Whichever you want, if you want it to exhaust (which you probably want), just make it an exhaust. Otherwise, set is as intake.

I say you probably want exhaust, since  in most cases you will intake air via the front of the case and exhaust at the back.

It is going to be hard to say since you didn't not specify your case.

Anyway, if we suppose that you use a standard front to back airflow-style case, when mounting the radiator at the back you should make it an exhaust.

This how a fan works, so you know which side to mount in on, on the radiator.
