How many BB (big bets, big blinds) should your stack be when playing speculative hands (Q90, J9o, 9Ts, 55). I've heard that shallow / shorter stacks should play big offsuit paint to aim for big 1 pair on flop, deeper stacks can actually mix it up more. I'm curious to know what size stack you make the distinctions on.

I know 10 BB is "short stack" in which you hafta picka place to push; however, take 20 BB for example. Are we just just playing ace-paint here?

That's tournament theory. Playing cash games, 10BB is just a retarded amount to play with. Maybe you meant tourneys; they have a section for that.
