I've scavenged through the majority of the forums and though I am well aware that various posts exists dedicated to supplements, I would like to know the opinion of those who used this specific casebook.

For anyone who has used this book, I would like to know what specific supplements you would recommend that tailor to this edition/casebook. Most importantly, because I am aware that a variety of supplements by different authors/publishers/etc. exist for each specific casebook, I would like to know why you feel that your recommendation is superior to the others.

You shouldn't entirely disregard the generally established advice on TLS about the best supplements. Most supplements have a grid that lines up the most popular textbooks' pagination with its own pagination if you're incredibly concerned about things matching up. Also, upper-Ls at your school can dispense advice on which supplements work best for each prof. and/or occasionally professors will tell you themselves (ex. My civ pro prof loved the E&E and encouraged us to practice with it).

Personal experience:
I had the same Torts book and used the E&E some, mostly just for explanations of things like proximate cause. I booked the class.

E&Es are generally fabulous (except for the Contracts one).

It's difficult to say if we have different professors, but for that torts book I'd have liked something more substantial than E&E. that CB is big on duty, foreseeability so a treatise which really examined those concepts at length would be good.
