Doesn't matter much, I personally would put the fans on the upper side of it and have it act as a top exhaust, that way cleaning dust out of it is easy as it won't require removing the radiator and fans.

For me it I have Fan > Rad > fan but if you cant get 2 fans I would go Rad > fan > out of case. This is so you could clean it. with out dismantling it.

The air should go;

 

Fan > Radiator > out of case

It would have a marking indicating it's rotation and airflow.The airflow should go through the radiator and out of the case.
