Pullers flow more air, according to the manufacturers.

You live in a moderate area so I would recommend the Flex-a-lite 210 dual fans.
Don't buy them from Ecklers, get them from Summit or Jegs for $200.

They fit my radiator core perfectly and work really well.

You can push or pull. If you want to get rid of the machanical fan, then I would go with the pull type (engine side), if you want to add air flow with the mechanical fan still in place, go with the push in front of the rad. Your radiator is about 18.5 tall x 27.5" wide. I offer the spal 16" hi-flow (2300 cfm) single fan kit for $226. Complete with harness, relay, wiring diagram, fuse link, and temp switch. I stock the pull type but I can get you a push in a couple days. http://www.dewitts.com

I just installed the twin Flex a Lite fans. They work great and look good as well. Really open up the front of the motor.
