I would say that for most analyses (anything I can think of) you would want to cluster at a more aggregated level than the household. The survey design itself requires accounting for cluster sampling, so if you cluster at the PSU (primary sampling unit) level, that will subsume household and take care of both the study design and the within-household problem.
