You are supposed to use of all of them with skill both on track / BUS level and on the master BUS if you wish to have a finalised track matching the density, spectrum and volume levels of other commercial records.

Limiters don't clip unless they have the extra feature added. Clippers clip. Although they might introduce distortion and maybe it can be considered cliped ?
A limiter is an automatic volume just like a compressor.
