Thank you Nick for your valuable comments. 

After reading some literature (including the Stata
manuals) I get the sense that -rreg- is more robust to
outliers, whereas -qreg- is more robust to the
skewness in the data. However, I have not found this
stated anywhere. Those anyone have any thoughts about
this?

Thanks,
Ricardo.
