IMHO it's no best practice to fit all, it all comes down to what's best for you.

Well, that's not entirely correct, Ansible has two type of syntax YAML and key
value.
Recommendation is to use YAML, but I use them both because key value is faster
to write for short debug tasks.
This key value is faster to write
- debug: var=myvar
than this YAML
- debug:
var: myvar

Most if not all Linux/Unix programs and that includes Ansible don't care about
the file extension.
So you can call them whatever you like, officially I think the YAML people
recommend .yaml as the extension.

It depends on you editor I guess.
I'm using vim with this plugin[1] and configure it for .yml files that I use
for Ansible, and for clean YAML files, aka not Ansible files, get the default
vim YAML syntax setting.
