We are using Jira heavily in our day to day development. I'd like to see if there are any best practices in creating project components in Jira?

For example, in your opinion, is it better to create a component for each development module in Jira or maybe finer-grained components are preferred by your team?

Components are like little sub-projects. Projects seem to be most useful when they group people together. I recommend to my clients that JIRA projects reflect the social organization to some degree, at least until the number of projects becomes very large.

Also, avoid the use of a component named "Misc" or "Other". They tend to become waste dumps of issues that no-one cares about.
