CFM vs Diameter

What do you think would be more effective auxiliary electric fan, a
14” @1800cfm or 16” @1600cfm?
If the CFM was real and from the same mfg, then the more cfm the better! But I suspect you have two different companies using 2 different ways to rate the cfm because apples to apples, the 16" will pull a lot more air than a 14".

The only real way to tell which is better is to use a cfm meter through the radiator and that's not very practical.
