Ran this hand through SNG power tools and got a +0.6%EV for pushing rather than folding, assuming the BB had a fairly lose range because of his big stack and SB had quite a tight range.

Although I got this result, would it still be wiser to try and outlast the shorter stack?

Shove and be happy you are going to be ahead of his range most of the time.

The other shortie isn't that much shorter than you, and further the BB is going to go through you, before it goes through him. Also, if he doubles then you hate ife for passing up this +EV spot. An edge that big we just can't pass up, and what is your definition of wide? At these stakes "wide" may not be as wide as you think... and surely isn't as wide as optimal. (Unless you know he is solid reg.)
