Following is another response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:
You only use a state weight for an analysis that is confined to a specific state, and even then you will be ok with the national weight. State-specific weights are only included in a few surveys and I never use them. As for choosing between mv005 and d005, I would base the choice on the source of the dependent variable. If it's from the MR file, use mv005. If it's from the DV module in the IR file, use d005.
But I also suggest that you do a few regressions with mv005 and exactly the same regressions with d005 (and maybe with the state weights?) to put your mind at ease. You should get very similar results, except that a case will be dropped if the weight variable is NA.
