Use 「計り知れない」 when something is too great to gauge or cannot be guessed at, as in 「計り知れない影響」「真意は計り知れない」. For sheer quantity pick 「数え切れない」 or 「無数」; for endlessness, 「限りない」 or 「果てしない」. 「無限」 is the limitless in general, 「無尽蔵」 an inexhaustible supply, 「無限大」 infinity in math or hyperbole, 「切りのない」 colloquial, wearying endlessness. 「無窮」「広大無辺」「無辺際」「無極」「空々漠々」 are literary; 「無制限」 means no set limits; 「夥しい」 is written. 「計れる」 is the opposite; 「限定的」 contrasts only in the scale of an effect.
