Should you repost on Facebook?

If you're not already reposting your content on Facebook, you should. There's a huge potential for publishers to gain more reach, traffic and engagement by simply reposting on Facebook.

Is it better to share a post or repost on Facebook?

Sharing is largely only effective if the original post is on a public setting that lets anyone see it, regardless of whether or not they are friends with the original poster. When users call for people to "copy and paste" but not share, it is to ensure privacy settings are not preventing a message from being spread.
