Halachic conclusion הלכות שהייה

How do we conclude lhalacha? Do we rule like Rabanan or like Chanania?

Review שולחן ערוך ס’ רנ”ג סע’ א which brings two opinions.

Question:

According to which opinion does the מחבר conclude? 

Bring a proof 

Learn the Mishna Berura 

Is the רמ”א concluding the halcha is in accordance with Chanania or saying that if one follows the accepted Minhag like Chanania it is Ok, but really should follow like Rabanan?

The רא”ש first brings the ruling of the רי”ף who rules like the Rabanan and all of the proofs of the רי”ף. (We went through most of those proofs when we learnt the  רי”ף)   The רא”ש then brings the opinion of רש”י and the ר”י who rules like Chanania. 

The רא”ש then quotes the בעל המאור who also rules like Chanania and refutes all the proofs of the רי”ף (we learnt some of the refutations in the ר”ן) 

The רא”ש then brings ר’ יהודה הברצלוני & שאילתות דרב אחאי גאון who rule like the רי”ף and goes through each refutation of the בעל המאור and explains why it is not a valid refutation. 

In conclusion the רא”ש says “ובשביל שרבו דעות בהאי פיסקא “
