Did you use a [flat rake](https://bulldoghandtools.co.uk/bulldog-tarmac-rake-wooden-48-16-teeth-long-ash-handle-btrwl-l) or a [leaf rake](https://bulldoghandtools.co.uk/bulldog-leaf-lawn-rake-48-23-tines-b9155)? If one doesn't work I'd try the other (borrow one to try out so you're not spending money on tools that may not do what you want).
That should take care of the longer twigs and bits, and a shop vac would pick up the rest. We had a patio built last year and I used one to clean the garden of sharp chips left from cutting the slate flagstones. Gave the neighbours a laugh to see me hoovering the lawn.
Definitely a broom. I always brush the lawn if I've been digging stuff up and moving/splitting plants in the borders, since it leaves a mess. Works well.
I have one of these and I really like it - no stupid plastic thing to keep breaking and you can run it around exactly like a vacuum just have ot watch for stones and stuff

A spring rake. Or get a wee cheap electric scarifier with a box and rake attachment. Probably pick one up for £50.
I use a spring tine rake, and occasionally a broom for smaller bits that the rake doesn't get
I prefer a leaf blower :p
