Re: positive chip EV, negative $EV? Im looking for some examples.

I realize that its in your best interest to avoid large confrontations in which your edge is small especially in the begining

This is not actually true when you say especially in the beginning. You will find that this is far more applicable later in a SNG than it is in the beginning.
In the beginning, your motive to avoid confrontations with a small edge generally only arises out of skill-inequity considerations. It is later in tourneys that $EV considerations begin to dictate play based on the prize distribution.
As an example (which is what you are asking, I guess) consider a situation where you held a hand like 77 on the bubble. The only stack bigger than you pushes all-in and he has been very aggressive (probably only overcards). You have the edge here, but this is a clear fold (even if you knew for a fact that he held AK, which would be +CEV for you).
