If you are a 5 handicap or below, get the 60*. Any higher of a handicap it is gonna hurt you more than help.
Why is that? I have a 60 degree now and hit it decent, it's just old and clunky. Will a 58 do everything I need it to do around the greens?

Because you aren't getting the full use (usually) out of your wedges if you have a 60* and are above that handicap.
I like to think that really high lofts are used for specialized shots, and a lot of handicappers above that skill level just can't be consistent with the shots that club produces. A 58* would be fine.
ETA: Learning to score with your 52* and 56* is a lot more beneficial for your game than learning high risk shots, above a 5 handicap (usually). That's what I was trying to get at.
