What are the thoughts on using an SP fan for push and an AF fan for pull? with some simple math I could calculate the RPM required for each fan to achieve matching CFM outputs for each fan to avoid turbulence.

For example an SP120L set at 1300rpm will produce around 35CFM, likewise a AF120L will produce the same CFM at around 815rpm. Could this in theory work well (as apposed to using matching fans)?

You gain little to no benefit on a radiator (unless there is significant resistance, such as a really thick and high fpi rad) when running the fans in push pull. Using a non static pressure fan will absolutely be a waste of money as it will not perform well due to the lack of static pressure (unless you are using a low fpi radiator), along with the push pull idea only giving you a degree or two more with the proper fans.
