Default Preflop Play with JJ or AK

This may seem like a basic question but it actually sparked some interesting points in a discussion I recently had.

Give a Full Ring 2/5 Live game 100BB stacks. Assume no reads on Villain. If MP opens for 4BB and it gets folded to you, given AK or JJ answer the following:

In position (on the button)
- Which hand would you rather have?
- If you said JJ, what is the lowest pocket pair you would still rather have than AK?
- Which hand are you more likely to 3-bet?
- What is the highest pocket pair you just call with (instead of 3-bet)?

How do your answers change if 1) You are out of position in one of the blinds. 2) Stacks are 50BB. 3) Stacks are 300BBB. 4) Limits are higher.
