STACK SIZES!
IMO one of the first things that need to be considered.
You can't really calculate what your expected value is unless you know how much money is involved.
So when you think about making this call, look at his stack, look at yours, guesstimate the amount it would cost for you to make it assuming you flop the draw, and compare it with how much money you really think you can make from a stubborn opponent.
FWIW, I prefer smaller SC's to T9 and 98 etc. In my experience players freeze up more on higher card flops with possible straights out than small one, cuz what idiot would call a raise with small cards.
Edit:
Personally the 5-10 rule with SC's doesn't really seem too appealing to me with 100 bb stacks, but with PP's it's a give in. Any thoughts?
