Seems debatable and everyone is doing it differently - curious to what your set-up is?

I have a H100i and it's pulling air from the outside and into the case (upper-right picture). Looking to possibly change it up with a 4 fan configuration?

This is not my graph, wanted opinions.

Very debatable.  Hahaha      The airflow up and out is the usual but sometimes testing shows that outside air, hitting the radiator first, and then into the case is better for cpu cooling.   You have an excellent case for cooling, so the air going down into the case probably wouldn't matter.
 
 I don't have the H100i so hopefully others that do can chime in.

Pushing or pulling doesn't really matter.  You won't truly notice any difference except for maybe a degree here and there, depending on internal air flow and ambient temps.

If you do a pull/pull config, you will also see a few degree difference, but nothing major.  What you need to do is see if you have the room for the push/pull first, then determine your pressure in your case to determine if it's all exhaust or intake.  You want positive pressure, plain and simple.

i have the CoolerMaster Haf-X Full size tower, so definitely plenty of space. when you say pull/pull - do you mean the picture on the lower righthand corner?

You won't notice any real-world performance or stability gains from doing a push pull. The radiators Corsair uses are actually not a high fin density in which a push pull config would help with temps.

Recommendations or if there's a difference in mounting the Corsair fan on top or bottom of radiator like the upper right or right middle picture?

In blowing or sucking mode?

There is no difference in a push vs a pull assuming you have nothing blocking air flow inside the case.  And even if you did have a thicker radiator, as Alex pointed out, you still wouldn't truly notice any lower temps except maybe a few degrees.
