There is no benefit for using a flashback arrestor on a hothead, its not required and not necessary, the torch design makes it impossible (or nearly so) for the flame to flash back into hose...
As for regulator, the jury is still out.... The HH or MAG torch is designed to operate at full tank pressures (120psi at about 70° f.) .... Adding a regulator may cause a more stable flame, but regulator has to operate in the range of 60-70 psi minimum to allows torch to burn effectively...
Any one interestes in high pressure regulators, and LONG hoses may want to look here...

For cylinder & hose connectors...

Hoses...

And by the time you are done its cheaper to just upgrade to a fuel/oxygen torch....
