I know they all mean overwhelm I believe, but my DeepL and other websites gave me 4 different verbs to mean overwhelm. Which one is more common or when do you specifically use it?

The most common will have to be "überwältigen". A tool you may want to add to your repertoire is the Google Books Ngram viewer ...

I honestly can't think of a usage example of "überschütten" or "überhäufen" in the sense of overwhelm.
