Moksha - Once you are dead you'll get rid of Life Cycle (Jeevan Chakra), you become an absolute and pure energy traveling across the Universe. No need to reincarnate again, take birth as Fly or Human or any other form.
Amarta (Immortality): You remain young forever. You will never die.
Lord Hanuman, who is Lord Shiva's avatar is immortal, why he didn't try for Moksha?
Should we pray for Moksha or Immortality?
According to Bhagavad Gita, Moksha (liberation) and Amaratva (immortality) are same.
From this answer, for liberation & immortality -- happiness-Sorrow or any duality is same.
BG 2.15 - O foremost of men, surely all these don't distress to that person(Purusha); that wise person to whom sorrow and happhiness are the same -- is fit for immortality.
BG 6.7 - The conqueror of the own self, quite pacified [person] establishes with supreme Self (viz. liberates) in heat-cold, sorrow-happiness, and honour-dishonour
Besides, you may also combine below verses to confirm that both are same.
BG 8.16 - All planes along with BrahM-plane are repetitive, O Arjuna. But O son of Kunti, reaching "Me", the rebirth doesn't happen.
BG 9.19 - O Arjuna, I give heat, I withhold and pour the rains. the immortality is "Me", and also death, existent and nonexistent.
The meanings of liberation and immortality are also combined in a verse:
BG 2.20 - "That" is neither born nor die; Nor having come to exist, "That" will again cease to be. "That" is birthless, eternal, undecaying, ancient; It is not killed when the body is killed.
"Moksha - Once you are dead you'll get rid of Life Cycle (Jeevan Chakra), you become an absolute and pure energy traveling across the Universe"
No, not quite true. If after liberation one "becomes" an energy of whatever form, then that means it's still existing. In other words, that entity has taken a rebirth in form of an energy.
Any existence is directly orthogonal to liberation. :-)
"Amarta (Immortality): You remain young forever. You will never die."
No. As already stated above, those who are born are meant to decay followed by death and those who die are meant to take rebirth.
BG 2.27 - Those who have a birth, it's certain [for them] to die, For dead, certainly there will be a [re]birth; Hence you don't have to grieve about inevitable
Until a being relates themselves with bodily aspects, they keep taking births.
"Lord Hanuman, who is Lord Shiva's avatar is immortal, why he didn't try for Moksha?"
No. Lord Hanuman is not immortal. He is a Cheeranjivi (long lived). There are various posts on that topic in our site.
Moksha is not something to be tried or achieved, it's received or attained, once a person becomes totally indifferent to everything in the worldly aspects. Until the gods like Shri Hanuman have certain role to play or duty to perform, they may not give up their physical self.
"Should we pray for Moksha or Immortality?"
None. Anyways both are same.
If we pray to get "something", then we have to stay till that "something" is attained. Hence, until we have some purpose to fulfil, Moksha is not attainable.
Desires (viz. to achieve something) & Anti-desires (viz. to give up something), both keep us plugged with the material world in one or the other form.
Disinterest or indifference, eventually leads to liberation.

Moksha - Once you are dead you'll get rid of Life Cycle (Jeevan Chakra), you become an absolute and pure energy traveling across the Universe. No need to reincarnate again, take birth as Fly or Human or any other form.
This is not true. Moksha is totally based on the overall karma (good/bad) you did throughout your life. You rebirth in any form will decide based on all your good or bad deeds in your current birth.
A good karma can lead our soul to the better places like rebirth as a human, will decide our family, where we gonna born, will have parents, will have a family, will have friends, a good life, a healthy body, have hands, legs, can speak, can see, can listen, can think, and just so many things.
Likewise, the bad karma can lead our soul to the worst birthplaces like rebirth as a human, but will no have parents, will not have a family, will not have anything to eat, will not have a ceiling to live under, will not have a life, will not have a hand, or a leg, or a deaf, or will get older as an illitrate person, or more worst will get birth as any kind of animals/insects which are visible or not visible, which has a form or no forms, will birth/die in a fraction of seconds, or more worst place in a hell.
Moral – So if you have a good life today, you have hands to work by yourself, legs to walk by yourself, you can see the world, you can listen to the people, you can share your feelings by speaking to your friends and families. You have parents, do respect those people and things, this is you get because sometime somewhere in your previous births you were not like what you are today! After all your bad deeds converted by your good deeds to a better karma, you're eligible for what you have right now. Stop doing such things which may lead you to the worst life ahead.
Amarta (Immortality): You remain young forever. You will never die.
