Following is a response from DHS Senior Sampling Specialist, Mahmoud Elkasabi:

For district level estimates, you can use the national or the state weights; both should give you the same results. For example, for household-level estimates, you can use hv005 or shv005, and for indicators based on women 15-49, you can use v005 or sv005.
