(OP)
What do you guys normally use for bolts into a concrete beam? I was thinking F1554, but I'm not sure if I need to use A325 bolts.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

If we are using the Hilti RE-500-SD Adhesive, why can't we use the F1554 all thread?.

I don't know the answer to that I'm afraid. In my neck of the woods it's all labor so I'm generally spared the concern. I'd call your local Hilti rep to verify that their design values still apply when alternate bolts are used. I'm sure it wouldn't make much of a difference but Hilti's lawyers might disagree.
