And simlarly aisi
Rosh balanced Rif and Tosafos [Me'iras Aynayim seesmto endorse this method]
Tur used many major Rishonim
Bet Yosef used a beis din of Rif/Rambam/Rosh
Rema relid upon Mordechai/Or Zarua/Rosh/Mahari &l  others
Kitzur used Chaye Adam/SA harav/DerechHachaim [ this is in a letter he
wrote]

Rambam OTOH is hard to tell upon whom he relied - aside from Rif.

It would behoove US to not follow the MB blindly but to use a BD. I propose
from his era:
MB/Arch Hshulochan and kaf Hachayim/

I think making one gadol as absolute poseik a dangerous game. OTOH the tanna
Rabbi Meir suggests to pick ONE rebbe and don't spread yourself thin.
