Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
What Code would be the "legallest"?

Where's the "that one that allows you to rebattle Dialga" option.
Fyi any code from a device that is externally attached to your DS is hacking.
Imo an event modifier code is awfully convenient, but also unfair and generally frowned upon. You could do the code infinitely and you could see how that would be unfair for pokemon like Arceus.
Pokemon that weren't supposed to come in D/P shouldn't be. To me, the 100% shiny code is the only somewhat useable one because there is a chance, albeit less than winning the lottery 10 times in a row, that all the pokemon you see in the game are shiny.
On Smogon, the legendary reencounter code is tolerated by some people, as long as it was caught legitly. This is not like serebii where people brag about how many shinys they have. Generally people here don't really give a hoot about whether it is shiny or not as long as it's good.
Event modifier codes would probably be the hardest to detect, but the all shinies and encounter code are easy to detect, even without a hack checking device.

Don't forget the IV-checking code!
And Xyra, can't you edit the poll to add the two options you forgot?
True. Since there are IV battles, the IV checking code is probably pretty close to being not as much of a boost as the aforementioned things. Although I don't really know how the IV check code works, so correct me if I'm wrong. XD
Considering it allows you to check the IVs even before the egg is hatched, I'd say it gives a nice advantage. Something along the lines of quick hatching (with the difference that you either soft-reset for the egg or mass-hatch and hatch all of them as a normal person).
I would have to say the Shiny code is the most legit, as it will not give you an unfair advantage in battle.
Wait, then what's the event modifier code? I thought they were the same thing....
Right, I know other people have said it, but 'legal hacking' is an oxymoron. You can't have a 'legallest' hack, they are all hacking.
I don't mind people using the all shiny code or 100% encounter code or whatever, but I do mind people who call it anything other then hacking. If you don't want to hack, then don't, but by saying something is 'legal' even though it is a hack... you're only fooling yourself. If you want whatever code, then do it, but at least be honest with yourself.

No you don't need to hatch them. At the start of breeding it doesn't really give an advantage because you're just looking for IVs on parents. But, once you have 2 really good parents IV check is a huge boost, especially when hatching something that requires a specific ability + nature.
1. Fast Hatch/egg generate, saving before each egg until you find an egg with the right nature/ability/gender/whatever.
2. SR on that egg like crazy, IV checking as soon as you get the egg.
3. If IV check says the IVs suck, just SR
4. Repeat until you get great IVs on that egg, hatch for your awesome poke.
The advantage over running back and forth on your bike is really obvious ain't it? The advantage over quick hatch is you don't have to sit there waiting for the animation sequence on every single egg. -.-
Forgot about SRing for a moment. My bad.
Pesonally, I only use the AR for Items and TM's.
I have a lot less issue with using the AR for Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, and Arceus. Not everyone can get to the special events, why punish someone that lives in boondocks?

From my own testing, one of those is detectable.
I'll take your word for it since I can't check myself.
