This seems like such a simple spot when multi-tabling...
I'm starting to review sessions and spots like this more closely.
Full Ring table that is breaking down,

Steal here it's interesting to see that I'm opening to 3.5x rather than 3x. BB is a 9-7 reg with 5% 3-bet and this is a classic squeeze spot where I have a wide range and sb will generally have a pretty weak holding. Looking more closely I see that villain has a high fold to 4-bet (these 5k+ hand sample sizes are useful sometimes), and also note that he has a lowish cbet around 60%. T8s performs pretty well here and is fine multi-way if the sb comes along, I have postion. This can be a call sometimes. AA i'd prefer not to go to the flop 3-way.
I don't like 4-betting T8s here, it is high-variance and unnecessary - although maybe the best play? I have huge fold equity and villain folds often. This is why I'm also uncertain about 4-betting AA. Folding T8s is ok, but I don't think it's the best play. Thoughts?
What about if I hold AA?

4bet t8s some of the time. If you have a clean image and you know bb is capable of squeezing wide then just make it $26 and laugh at how much he folds. Having just rereading your post I think 4ber is easily the best play.

With AA it depends a lot on the sb as well as what history you have with bb. With bbs high fold to 4bet I would be tempted to call especially if sb is a fish.

BankItDrew will become famous soon enough

Given reads this looks like and easy call with AA and an easy raise with T8s.

This is 100% because of the high fold to 4bet %.
