    I don't understand your question. You can use any shortening service on FB.
    If you want to avoid captcha register your mobile phone number.

    I always use su.pr for both Facebook and Twitter (and StumbleUpon). You can track your links as well using su.pr.

    http://su.pr

    try http://to./ the shortest url shortening service around i.e if you wish to have a url shortening.
    As for facebook captcha, its just a way of restricting automated bot submitters and few others who almost act like bots.

    with Bit.Ly you can analyze who actually follows your links if that is something you want to do. I haven't personally done this, but I have read that it you are able to view who clicked your link and other data.

    I try to avoid a url shortener, that way you get a backlink (nofollow, but from facebook its still high authority)

    Goog URL shorteners use a 301 redirection, though they pass the pagerank.

    Bit.ly is one of the best i've used. Re: the ability to track click etc, you can take any bit.ly link and just add a + symbol onto the end of the shortened URL in your browser and this will bring you straight to a stats page where you get a breakdown of all sorts of information on your link.
