Squeezing ranges

Greetings!

I'm a bit confused about squeezing ranges and I'm not sure what hands I should be using as a default to bluff.

Three scenarios:

1) UTG opens, MP calls and we're on the BTN.

2) MP opens, BTN calls and we're on the SB.

3) MP opens, CO calls and we're on the BB.

What your squeezing range would look like in these scenarios as a default?

I'm not sure what hands I should be using as a squeeze. For example on BB, we're getting such a good prize to call and we want to call a lot of hands here. This means that our potential squeezing hands are left being very weak. If we want to have suited hands in our squeezing range, those should be hands like 43s or so. Is this ok, or would you just take hands from your calling range and turn those into squeezes? Or do we want to squeeze mainly broadway offsuit hands and have kind of depolarized squeezing range in a sense? (KQo/KJo/AJo type of stuff) Squeezing these offsuit hands OOP doesn't feel super good to me because we're OOP and if we get called we're gonna have a hard time to play our hands correctly.

I've always kind of had the approach that if I can call hand preflop profitably, I will do so and pick the best hands that I can't call and turn those into bluffs. I feel like this doesn't work very well when squeezing and we should probably have somewhat depolarized ranges.
