I'll elaborate a bit on this. ;)

There isn't a documented recommended way for this afaik. But I would do it
as follows:

Split up de areas.bbs file in sections with for instance the admin areas
and the "regular" areas separated. And set the 'AreaMgr defaults'
to your liking before you import each section.

There was however an improvement regarding this in a recent beta version:

2017-01-04  1.73.11.61-Beta
  * FConfig: When importing AREAS.BBS, the Group and AreaFix settings from the
    'AreaMgr defaults' is used for newly created areas.

So if you need this, you should wait for the next release, which will be in
the next couple of days or weeks. Or if you are really in a hurry I can
give you a link to a beta version...

Wilfred.
