Do any short url's pass link juice? googles own? twitters?

[Aviawest]

I've read a few posts saying not shorten links at all but we have a lot to tweet and need to. Is googles shortener the best option?

I've considered linking to the category index page the article is on and expect the user to find the article and click on the article, I don't like the experience that creates though.

I've considered making the article permalink tiny but I would lose the page title being in the url. Is this the best option?

I use the google shortener all the time because it does pass value. I would say yes.
