Generally speaking, you can call with a wider range on the button because you will last act and can better get more money in when you're ahead, get out when you're behind, and steal when no one hits. You should generally not be calling with these types of hands in early position, even if you think your odds look good. Your positional disadvantage by and large won't be enough to overcome it. Another point to consider is that you can widen your range even more if the effective stacks are deeper because hands like suited aces and connectors are good candidates to hit the nuts and your deep stack villain may hit the 2nd nuts. But, keep in mind, you generally don't want to put in a ton of money pre-flop for the opportunity because most of the time, no one hits.
For your specific situation, I don't think anyone can give you a one-sized fits all approach. You need to consider all the variables I mentioned above with your reads and proceed forward the best you can. Your ability to steal combined with the aggression you think you'll face after the flop are two important considerations.
