Your best bet is to search the archives of this list. This topic gets beaten to death every month or two and you'll find a wealth of information in past threads that you can choose to apply or not apply to your development cycle. What you'll find is that "best practices" is a very subjective theme, with only a few truly necessary "must-dos" (i.e., var scoping local variables, including query names). As for what scope you store component instances in, how they're called, etc., that's all up to you and nobody is going to chime in with a "you must do it this way or it's incorrect" answer for you. Sorry it's a bit gray, but that's just the reality.
