I think it would seem more natural to have a single version across the
components if we will always release those together.  Having different
versions only makes sense if these components are released
independently.
I've seen both happen in different projects.  It seems that having a
single version / release makes our life and our users' life easier
(only one version to remember / upgrade, a single release to do).  It
would also enable us to provide a binary distribution, but it somewhat
makes the release cycle longer as all components need to be ready.   I
 don't really have a strong opinion on that, but i'd rather start with
a single release and later switch to multiple versions if needed.
