OK just for clarification: Airtraps do not need to be at the highest point in your system. The bubbles will move around in the system until they get to the airtrap. I have ran a system with the airtrap on the bottom of the case with no problems whatsoever with bleeding. The design of the airtrap is not that important either. As long as the coolant slows down it's velocity in the airtrap.
As far as your situation, I would definitely have the water enter in the bottom of the rad.
