The main drawback of using link cloaking software is some people see a cloaking link and won't click on it because they are wondering what you are trying to hide. Many internet users will not click on bit.ly and tinyurl links because they are sometimes used by spammers.

These do have the facility of checking your click through rates.

In the case of links for Twitter or Facebook you need to have a cloaked link to get past the spam engines these companies employ.
