This looks fine. A couple of notes:
1) vce(linearized) is the default, I believe, so you don't actually need to specify it.
2) singleunit - most people use singleunit(centered). Singleunit(missing) will result in missing values for the standard errors, whereas singleunit(centered) specifies that strata with one sampling unit are centered at the grand mean instead of the stratum mean. This doesn't usually matter as it is unusual to have only one sampling unit in a stratum, but in case there is such as case, using singleunit(centered) will give you an estimate.
