Should the front fans be taking air in, and the rear fans be taking air out? or should both fans be taking air in? Im confused

Generally - Front In, Rear/Top out.
Most of the time, not always though

Depends on the case really, if its a cheaper case with poor airflow, i prefer front and rear blowing in, leaving positive pressure and the power supply to exhaust it, and helps keep dust downsomewhat. If its a better case, then basically you want front to rear, bottom to top airflow.

You can also change fan positions according to your case position.
ex. Monitor on top of case --> Anywhere on the front in/anywhere on the Back out
