I'm just wondering whether it'll be enough to make fishing for Lv 56 script turn-ins worth the time, or should I hold off and go for easier collectibles until 58 then start earning scripts.
I had replaced my fishing rod at that point, of course.... I think I used...
NQ Cedar fishing rod (i85)
NQ Rainbow hat (i80)
NQ Dhalmelskin vest (i100)
HQ Fisher's gloves (i55) - melded with Perception+4, Gathering+8
NQ Wyvernskin belt (i90)
HQ Ramie trousers of gathering (i100) -- might have gotten these later, though
HQ Archaeoskin jackboots of gathering (i65)

Some melded i70 combat accessories, plus unmelded HQ Wyvernskin rings due to lack of GP

So in total that should have been 366 gathering, 293 perception, 451 gp. If your stats are around that with your current gear, then you should be fine =)

I got enough scrips at the first possible handin to buy the gloves (even if I couldn't use them at that point), then with some later handins I got the shoes as well. Though I think that might have been the Noontide Oscar, which means I had to have been level 57 at that point.
As for getting from 59 to 60, I found that the Lv58 Weston bowfin just wouldn't bite for me, so I instead went to try the Lv59 Illuminati perch, and got three of them with high enough points in less than half an hour ^^;
