You've named the two big gems for Facebook integration, both have their good and bad points.
If you are looking for a lightweight method of handling logins and basic information, I'd try the Janrain Engage service. For the same development effort of getting Facebook integration going you could get a handful of other services as well. They have a free and a very reasonable (considering the development time it offsets) pay option.
