Since you're already into this li'l problem, why not use  somewhat longer 
pieces of hose at the rad connections and do some tests with the rad 
connected both ways. If it makes any difference, we can all 'adjust' our 
theories as to why it's better one way than another. Be sure you give it a 
couple of days of driving each way to allow all the air to bleed out, since 
filling from the top will have air going counter to the water flow and it 
might be more difficult to avoid air pockets during bleeding. 

Yours for more real-world testing & less theorizing- J DeRyke
