I agree with the arrangement: Pump->Block->Rad->Res.

The highest velocity of water will be comming straight off the pump. Also having the Res. before the pump lowers the intake resistance to the pump. Lastly, having the radiator between the radiator and pump will not help all that much if at all. (cooling the water just after it was heated up makes more sence to me)

This is how I have my system setup.
