The El’Am Talmud was originally published in booklets and in some cases the booklets were bound. It is a nice translation and commentary for the chapters that were published but the project did not continue. It could be a useful set for beginning students of Talmud. Perhaps the new Koren English Talmud edition can be seen as superseding El’Am but I would still recommend El’Am for beginning Talmud students.
Torah Shelemah is in constant use here at our rabbinical school. While perhaps the Bar-Ilan Database can be said to supersede it is still a basic reference tool here at Hebrew College. Our English edition only goes through the middle of the book of Exodus and is an abridgement of the Hebrew edition. We have 43 volumes of the original Hebrew edition, which runs through parshat Pinhas in Bamidbar (Numbers). I would highly recommend keeping all 3 sets.
