Given the fact that the moon is huge in comparison to Earth.?
And given the fact that the moons affects have ALOT to do with stable and complex life on Earth?
Would it be more likely that we would find life forms on double planet (exo) systems or planets with abnormally large moons?

I see that you mean that Earth's moon is much larger in comparison to Earth than other moons in the Solar system are in comparison to the planets they orbit.
I think that a large moon would not actually make or break the chance for life to evolve to any particular level. The right micro-environments were much more important than larger things like tides. In fact, life likely formed in a very calm environment in which molecules could come into contact for enough time to grow without being within cell walls.

The moon is not huge in comparison to Earth.
On a size-basis scale model, if Earth were the typical classroom globe, the moon would be a baseball.
On a mass-basis scale model, if Earth were the mass of a man, the moon would be the mass of a shoe.
