The '58 Remington is stronger because it has the top strap. The sights aren't near as rudimentary, either, again because of the top strap. The Colt's rear sight is a notch cut in the hammer tip.

Both the Colts and Remingtons had its proponents then and now. The percussion caps are a bit easier to clear out of the Colts. Sometimes the caps break or split.
