Source
The Yesh"sh in Kiddushin (Chapter 2, Siman 14) wrote that it is preferable to read Rashi's commentary, while the opinion of the Beit Yosef in Siman 285, according to Rav Amram Gaon and Rav Natronai Gaon, is that it is preferable to read the translation because it has the advantage of being given at Sinai (and in Beur Halacha there, section 2, 'translation' is questioned), and Shaarei Teshuva there wrote in the name of the Bar Yossef that according to the Kabbalists, reading the translation is preferable.
