Single pass rads have less flow resistance, and self bleed since one outlet will be at the top. Regardless, one should always mount the rad so that it is either flat, or has at least one outlet at the top so it can bleed out any air. Putting the rad inlets at the bottom is just begging for a big air block inside the rad that will totally kill your flow and destroy any cooling ability.
