Hi there,

From what I remember, for fans blowing through a radiator or heatsink you need fans with high pressure ratings. ("static pressure rating"?) Since they need to be able to overcome the resistance posed by the thing in the way.

For case fans (intake/exhaust) you want fans with high flow ratings, measured in cubic foot per minute, CFM. These fans have little resistance to overcome and need to move as much air as possible.

But it's been a while since I've researched this, this is just what I remember.
