They both pretty much work fine together in practice, but shimano says to use the right ones, BH90 has a thinner bore than BH59 for whatever reasons they deem best, pushing less volume of fluid through further or something, silver barb for 90, brass for 59. Generally the higher end stuff has had BH90 but that has basically trickled down through almost the whole range.
