Should I mount my radiator in an exhaust of intake configuration?

Personally, I prefer to run my unit in exhaust for better health of my system - and if you have a good amount of intake into your case somewhere near your radiator, you'll see very little temperature difference between intake and exhaust.
Here is a blog directly from Corsair; it includes some of the testing they did on Push/Pull setups.
I don't like the idea of all that water near my components, what if it leaks?
