Default Bubble Hero as medium stacks vs Small Stack +1 and Big Stack +2

Hi there,

I had a bubble experience which is not unusual but I'm not sure which is the best strategy to handle it. I hope there is a general guideline for this situation besides Bubble Trainer Experience.
Maybe some others have the same problems as I.

Assume we have no reads but there are the usual $5 players at a
Stars $5.50, 4 players left, in this order:
Hero, medium stack, about 1/4 - 1/6 of the Big Stack
(SS) Small Stack, about 1/3 - 1/4 of my stack
(BS) Big Stack
(MS) another medium stack
The important point is that the position of SS is +1 to me and BS is +2 to me, never mind the other MS for the time being.

1.
If SS was BB and BS/MS didn't shove or limp, I shoved with nearly any two.
correct?! Or too aggressive?

2.
But the really hard decisions arised in the following situations.
If I was on the Button, I had a hard time every hand that was folded to me by MS. What to do?
Generelly spoken, I wanted and still want to be aggressive. But if I shove all-in, SS gets out of the way and BS thinks, ok get rid of that bastard, calls and I have a coin flip for my tournament life while SS is gloating all over the table.
This is such an annoying situation. What to do? Some generall ideas would help!
How to adjust Shove Range?
Shove at all?!
Fold?
Limping?
(Min-Raise?)

Thx

seems to be obvious or totally uninteresting... ;-)

It also depends on the blinds. But in general it's a bad idea to push a medium stack on a bigstack's bb with a shortstack in play.
