actually.. you'll find most fans will give better air flow over a coil when drawn thru the coil (engine side)

I think thermos are designed to either push or pull, so it's all taken into consideration. Just check which way your thermos are supposed to go.

you will get higher heat removal efficancy if you have them on the engine side, as it is closer and can grab more hot air to draw out, rather than have it disipate around the engine bay.

I don't think that makes a difference, 'coz you're pushing air onto/out of the radiator at point blank.

Only thing I can think of is if you have them set to push, the whole fan gets in the way of air flow when they're not on.
