A lot will depend on the viewfinder standoff your glasses force on you. With my glasses, the corners of the 50mm frame on the .58/1.25 combo go out a bit past the edges of the visible space. This means that the 75 and 90 frames are perfectly visible. If your use of long lenses will be an occasional thing, I think that combination should do the trick. I'm a major fan of the .58 for the 28/35/50 range, and the advantages it has in this area would outweigh the complications of occasionally using the magnifier.
