Thanks to Mark Schaffer and Al Feiveson for shedding light on my -areg-
question.

Using -araeg- attempts to model cluster effects by a constant offset for
  each group. There may be further correlation within clusters even
after a
  mean level adjustment. If so, using the cluster option would still be
  appropriate.

  It's not a problem, and is in fact a recommendation originally
  offered by Arellano (1987). Wooldridge's 2002 book discusses it (I
  don't have it handy or I would look up the page ref).

  You do need to be sure that you have enough clusters for the
  asymptotics to be plausible, but this is a general issue with cluster-
  robust and not specific to fixed effects models.

  Hope this helps.
