I actually chose the 5050 over the 5060 after doing some research.
One of my main concerns was that the lens of the 5050 is 'brighter'.
The 5060 also uses a proprietary battery rather than the usual AAs.

Note that in April I found it pretty difficult to find a new 5050 as they are out of production now.
There are also some concerns about the Olympus housing PT020 for the 5060.

I got an Ikelite housing which is great although a bit bulky and a lot more expensive.
