I'd guess the 58 would be right for you with that saddle height. I ride a 65cm Redwood, 83cm saddle height. If i were in the market for a Hunq i'd get the 58 just for the increased clearance and slightly quicker handling offroad, because it would be mostly a trail bike for me. It seems like there wouldn't be many riders (other than Shaun) who would take the 62, but it's certainly good news for those who missed out on the 68cm frames Riv used to stock (they might even have some left, i guess they were slow sellers).
