Foot pounds is a measurement of energy. However, if you really want to get anal about it, there should just be a "dot" in between each abbreviation, denoting that the units be multiplied together. With that in mind, you are technically able to write it in either way as torque is defined as lbs of force multiplied to a moment arm.
