Personally, 51 ft is easier to work with for me than 58 yards. They are both precise.

Answer:

A measurement in a smaller unit is usually more precise than one in a larger unit. As an example if you lived10 miles from another town and later found that the distance was plus or minus 1% (520 feet) you would not feel it was inaccurate. If the distance was said to be 52,800 feet (10 miles in feet) the same error of 520 feet would be viewed as very much in error.

In the same way 51 feet would be more capable of being precisely measured than 58 yards.
