So I should use the same ID for the feed, and the archive version of that feed?

That's what I would do, and for this reason: if someone finds both your lastest entries document and your archive document, they'll be able to recognize from the atom:id values that that the entries in each are copies of the same data.

It could be argued that since the entries' atom:id values are the same (assuming that's what you intended to do...which would be the correct thing to do since they're the same entries no matter what feed they get copied into), you should be able to recognize that the entries are the same from just those. But the combination of the feed's atom:id and the entry's atom:id matching provides greater confidence that someone didn't accidentally duplicate someone else's ID.
