Logic gain plugin vs. Volume fader

so i have been doing all my volume automation in logic with the gain plugin at the end of every chain on every track.

does it matter if the gain plugin is +"x"dB's...meaning should i make sure the highest gain setting is 0db and then correct the level with the volume fader?

right now a lot of my gain automation goes to like +15dB...is this problematic or does it make no difference as long as im not clipping on the tracks?

(this is not for recording, just mixing)

If audio is 32 bit floating point, the audio cant clip before it reaches the soundcards DA converter, or you render to a fixxed sample rate (non floating point). So it doesnt matter what your using for gain

As long as your master isnt clipping, I guess.
