Question

Have a good week.
I wanted to ask about what you see as the correct way to arrive at a halakhic conclusion.
When I study a Talmudic passage, should I aim to understand the reasoning and the core point of dispute and decide based on what seems more reasonable to me, or should I study many commentators and halakhic decisors and follow the majority view?
Of course, it isn’t quite that dichotomous, but still, what should one place more emphasis on?
There is a major practical difference regarding the Halakha Berura and Birur Halakha edition, which publishes Talmud volumes and brings many commentators in the back but little reasoning. I’d be glad to hear what you think about that—whether it is sufficient, or whether one must understand the point of dispute all the way through and decide based on reasoning.
Thank you
