The upper is usually prefered normally for aerodynamic reasons. If the upper grill is causing flow seperation it'll effect the aero of the car more than the lower, becaues as soon as the air hits the underside of the car its probably going to seperate and cause drag. In your case of putting the block behind the grill, I don't think it'll matter as much.
