<<I think more that the Rambam pasqened according to pesaqim more than
sevaros. Therefore, the Gra writes that if the Bavli had a shaqla
vetarya that concluded some peshat, but the Y-mi had an explicit "Amar
Ribbi ..." the Rambam would follow the Y-mi. Which would rule out his
following 98% of the dechuqos on those grounds.>>

Just read an interesting article where the author shows that early in his career
Rambam relied heavily on the psakim of the Gaonim. Later in life he severely
attacked those who rely on the psak of the Gaonim without thinking in through
and disagreed with many psakim of the Gaonim
