I would almost assure that big stacks has a pocket pair of some sort

I can't speak for eveyone here, but I don't think this statement is accurate at all...

If I'm the big stack, I'm going to be trying to steal the blinds frequently with a relatively wide range in an attempt to increase my big stack.

It would help if you gave us a read on what this particular big stack was doing with his stack, not just what you would do in his spot.

Regardless, I don't think it matters a ton - I'd shove. Short stack has 8bb, you have the best hand and should have plenty of FE, you're OOP.
