The short answer which sounds unworkable without additional explanation? Both.
The longer answer:
The game, on account of being newer and being higher up the ladder, has priority.
But wait, there's more! FoR is still very important to the Haloverse. Everything before the last act is still about 90% canon in its entireity. Everything after early August, 2552 needs some work, though.
It might be best to scrap armor testing entirely. We've had energy shielding and additional armor categories out the wazoo since long before Reach.
Obviously, the Spartan-IIs didn't stay in the Autumn until the 30th, where they promptly left in a pelican at the last minute and got shot down. They've been fighting since August 14th, defending the orbital defenses and slowly getting whittled down.
The Chief still went up to space though. Linda still got injured. This still works because the Autumn can easily pick them up on the way out.
Basically, the events in the "Fall or Reach" bit of the FoR can still be considered canon in rather broad strokes. The dates and order in which they occur should be put up to strict scrutiny.
edit: Also, it's CANON, not cannon. Bungie might need a cannon to curb the canon wank that'll occur on this board for the next year, but the two are otherwise unrelated.
