If you are using a combination of KR and PR variables, you should use the weights in the KR file, which (as you say) are the women's weights. The general rule, when combining data sets, is to use the weight for the data that is most (or more) at risk of nonresponse, and therefore is adjusted for such nonresponse. The weights in the PR file are adjusted for household-level nonresponse. The women's weights have an additional adjustment for women's nonresponse (within households). That's why I recommend that you use v005 rather than hv005.
