I have both.  The 77 mm one is better for longer focal length lenses like 300 mm.

I use the 58mm the most.  I carry it in my pocket when I have the FE 90 mm macro lens with me.  It is very handy to use that for very small subjects.  I had to find an adapter ring to go from the 62 mm thread on the lens to the 58 mm lens.  I get really good results with it.

Be careful about adding a lens to the front of a lens that extends a lot.  It can stress the lens and damage it.  My 90 mm lens has internal focus.
