I've seen it said on here that people use their h60 as exhaust. Does it cool as well if the order is >rad>fan>case? It seems like it would be better to have the fan blow through the radiator. If I made it intake would it throw off my airflow? I currently have 2 140 front intake and 1 120 rear exhaust.
H60 as exhaust?

it should be set to push hot air out from therad so if you put it as intake it will push hot air inside the case the best is to set front as intake and back with rad on top as exast then you will have a good air flow and not reciculating hot air in the case .

Depends on the fan speed and type. There is a sweet spot for most radiators, around 1500 rpm. Above that fans work better in a push (fan-rad-case). Below that, fans work better (especially higher cfm fans) in a pull configure (rad-fan-case).
Most stock fans that come with CLC's are rated 1400-2000 rpm, so are advised to use the fan in push. If the fan is a lower static pressure, however, pull is better.
I use a h-55 as my exhaust, mounted top, and do not usr a rear exhaust at all. For CLC's this is actually a better decision, as heat will naturally rise, and a top exhaust works to just help that, whereas a rear exhaust is trying to pull the heat 90 degrees, disrupting the natural airflow.
All that said, with a decent fan, with your CLC, you are pretty much good to put it anywhere you can, what pleases you aesthetically, in any config works for you.

Just using a single fan, that would be fine, you canmount it push or pull, sandwiching either the fan or the rad. The sp120 is a higher static pressure design though, so you would see slightly lower temps using it push. It also has that nice color ring, usually adding to a more pleasing look
