In this terrible state of Illinois, are we allowed to have an AR15 with a 14.5 inch barrel WITH permanently attached flash hiders?  Or no?

ONLY IF both amount to 16" or greater.

Yes. As long as the overall length is 16 inches you are ok.

good point.  If you are attaching the muzzle device yourself, make damn sure you are doing it right.  I like the pin and weld with a very visable weld (ala BCM) to ensure there is no doubt.  Because the test "just to see" may well destroy your rifle.  

"Hey we put a 48 inch wrench on your muzzle and twisted the barrel into a pretzel.  Looks like it was indeed permanently attached.  Enjoy the external rifling, Bye"

As long as its done correctly you dont need to worrie about it.  We used to have a sticky posted someplace that detailed how the BATF said it needed to be done.  My next project is a 11.5 with 5.5 flash hider... visably blind pinned!

One of the reasons I won't pin or solder stuff myself - proof that it was performed for a fee by a FFL holding gunsmith has to count for something if I ended up in court.

There was a thread in GD not long ago about CMMG sending out "pinned and welded" brrls that several posters reported came right off with a wrench.  I'd call it damned if you do, damned if you don't.  Personally a cooler looking flash hider, and 1/2" shorter profile just aren't worth it.

I agree. Your not going to make it any shorter and with a 16in barrel you can change your flash hider to whatever you want easily. It's only an 1 1/2" of barrel.
