Dave,
You'll need to do a bit of both but it'll also depend on who's in the pot with you. Tighten up on your starting hands but once you commit to a hand - play aggressively if you're in with short stacks but adjust accordingly if you're in the pot with another player that isn't short stacked. By the turn, short stacks will be less likely to see the river if they only have a draw because they are willing to wait it out to see if another short stacks gets put out and they finish higher (and possibly in the money) - but be wary of the player with no skills and calls anything regardless. Watch the players and you'll get a feeling for who this type player(s) at the table are.
It sounds like you've been playing aggressively when another player is also in the pot that isn't short stacked and is able to call your bets (and wins the hand) when you were trying to push around the short stacked players.
