Leakbuster Limit - Reraising Steals from the Blinds

[luckylucky]

I was looking through Leakbuster Limit and two of the leaks I was interested in were re-raising steal percentages from the blinds. The range suggested from the SB was from 16.4 to 24.2%. Plugging 20.4% (20.1% - the average mark rounds up to 20.4% in Pokerstove) into Pokerstove gives
A9o+, A4s+, 66+, KTo+, QTo+, JTo+, K7s+, Q9s+, J9s+, T9s+.
From the BB LBL recommends 10 -15.3%. At 12.7% Pokerstove gives ATo+, A8s+, 77+, KJo+, Kts+, QTs+, JTs+.

Now although these two were near the top of my biggest leaks for different reasons, I am comfortable with what Pokerstove returns. I do however have a few questions.

1. Should this range be in any way weighted more positively or negatively towards Ace holdings?
2. Should this range be in any way weighted more positively or negatively towards suited connectors or even just unsuited connectors?

My own thinking is that these ranges are in general on the money but in certain circumstances you need to close up more and in others open up more. Whether the steal comes from the cutoff or BB will affect the range somewhat and the player dependancy factor of course will be massive. Like the obvious case where a rock makes a steal attempt - you need a far stronger hand to re-raise.

In another more delicate situation where you have a reason to feel your opponent favors Ace high cards you might be more reluctant to continue with a weak ace but be more inclined to re-raise with slightly weaker suited connectors like 98s, 87s especially if they give up easily either on flop or turn if they don't hit.

What adjustments would you make against a maniac?
What adjustments would you make against a fish/whale?
Thoughts and opinions welcome.

FYI, I contacted Bryce since he can respond most appropriately. Because of the holiday though, it may take a day or 2 to get a response back. Just wanted to let you know that they're good questions, and I'll let you know what he says as soon as I hear back.

Generally small aces and pocked pairs like to play defensively and keep the pot small, so it's best not the 3-bet with them even though they score high in pokerstove. Additionally it's hard to get value out of small aces postflop since, if you hit an ace, your opponent can't exactly call you down with high card. Small connectors are not that strong, good middling hands perform better, though 3-betting a small suited connector from time to time is fine. Against maniacs 3-bet less and see what the flop brings before deciding whether or not to attack, against fish attack and 3-bet more if they're overly tight and slightly less if they're loose and fold the first two streets seldom.
