They're the same mic, except the 58 has a pop filter.  If your 
vocalist pops Ps, then go for the 58.  I believe the filter also 
rolls off a touch of high-end, so if you're not recording a P popper, 
the 57 will be fine and have a touch more of the highs.  (Of course, 
you could get the 58 and then unscrew the ball at the end, which will 
give you a 57, more or less, but the capsule will be unprotected.)
