Get your money in with most aces, any pair, and broadway cards.
 
Once you are shortstacked, you are almost out. At this point.. being as you are in the top 20, the blinds are very high.  If you wait for a premium hand then chances are that the double up will come too late and you will have less chips than you have now.
 
By throwing all your chips in you generate fold equity, so its better to do this when your chips are low.. but still high enough that people think twice before calling.
 
Chances are you will loose.. but chances are that you will also loose by waiting.  If you get lucky and double up at this point then you are back in the tournament.
 
You may get away with it a few times and pick up a few large blinds .. again putting you back in the tournament.
 
The only time to wait it out is if there are a number of people significantly more shortstacked than you.  Let them (well half of them) go out first.  This may put you in the money.... but the trade off is that you will probably have too few chips to get any further than that point.
