Use the "mirror write consistency" option if you want to be 101% sure, but: no, there are no problems with data integrity because of unequal disk speeds.

When detaching the SSA disk, the command is reducevg hdisk14. Is that correct?
yes, that is correct. After that use "rmdev -dl <disk>" to remove the disk device prior to physically detaching it.

And there's no conflict for all types of disks whether raid 0,1,5 to be mirrored.
No, there is not. When the disk is used by the LVM it is turned into a "physical volume" and this is raw storage space, regardless of where it comes from. This is the main difference between a "disk" and a "physical volume": it doesn't matter any more of which the physical volume is constructed.
Hope this helps.

PVCHANGE(8) System Manager's Manual PVCHANGE(8)
NAME
pvchange - change attributes of a physical volume
SYNOPSIS
pvchange [--addtag Tag] [-A|--autobackup y|n] [-d|--debug] [-f|--force] [--deltag Tag] [--metadataignore y|n] [-h|-?|--help] [-t|--test]
[-v|--verbose] [-a|--all] [-x|--allocatable y|n] [-u|--uuid] [PhysicalVolumePath...]
DESCRIPTION
pvchange allows you to change the allocation permissions of one or more physical volumes.
OPTIONS
See lvm for common options.
-a, --all
If PhysicalVolumePath is not specified on the command line all physical volumes are searched for and used.
--metadataignore y|n
Ignore or un-ignore metadata areas on this physical volume. If metadata areas on a physical volume are ignored, LVM will not not
store metadata in the metadata areas present on this Physical Volume.
-u, --uuid
Generate new random UUID for specified physical volumes.
-x, --allocatable y|n
Enable or disable allocation of physical extents on this physical volume.
Example
"pvchange -x n /dev/sdk1" disallows the allocation of physical extents on this physical volume (possibly because of disk errors, or because
it will be removed after freeing it.
