The biggest thing is that the spellchecker has lots of knobs to tune, all the stuff in http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SpellCheckComponent#spellcheck.collate
TermsComponent, on the other hand, just gives you what's in the index with essentially no knobs to tune. So it depends on your goal. Typeahead or spelling correction? In the first case I'd go for TermsComponent and the second spell check as an example.
