Having both is very good. Look at what Backtype does with their Twitter search API. The HTML of each tweet will have its links be: <a href="FULL_URL">SHORT_URL

I think that's perfect because I know which URL shortener was used and can follow up if needed (e.g. check the bit.ly analytics).
What you're proposing would support exactly this scenario, and as a marketer of my web apps myself, I like. But their ToS changes the OP mentioned go exactly against that, and I don't like.
