Re: which mic pres don't clip?
I would guess that the earthworks pre would be hard to clip (although I've never used one, so I can't say for sure):

Also, I bet the prismsound stuff is clean as a whistle at high gain:

On the less esoteric side of things, the Aphex 207 has a hard limiter.

I wish I had one at my live recording gig last week- would have helped!

Every mic pre will clip the signal if this input signal exceeds its max headroom. I would say look for a mic pre that has a headroom of +27dBu or greater and also includes pads and/or variable input sensitivity and you'll be in good shape.
