pump->rad->blocks->(res)->pump. Flow rate is uniform throughout the system so you don't get any advantage from putting the blocks before the rad.

Splitting or not is your call really, you will end up with more flow going to whichever of the nb and gpu blocks is less restrictive. So you should aim to buy blocks which are similar is design/size to minimise that. Splitting will also give more overall flow through the system as the pressure drop for two blocks in parallel is lower than for 2 in series. That will tend to give better cpu temps, though you'll probably notice higher gpu and NB temps.

Tygon is more resistant to chemicals I believe meaning it won't discolour from additives and ages well. It's also highly flexible.
