They are different destinations.
The decision should be consistent with your objectives.
Perhaps you should list what you want to get out by visiting each destination, how likely you will return to the other destination, and which would you regret the most for not visiting this time. The number of ways one can look at the choice are endless.
If I were to do this, I would go straight to Sorrento or Florence if the arrival in Rome is early enough and do Rome later. This eliminates having to check-in in Rome the second time.

Florence gives you fantastic Art & Architecture (world class museums, sculpture, cathedral, etc., etc.) in a small, walkable, lovely old city with a beautiful river. Possible side trip to Siena or another Tuscan town.
Sorrento gives you stunning cliff side views of the sea, possible trip down the Amalfi Coast to Positano or Amalfi or to Capri, and possible visit to the ancient ruins of Pompeii.
Both are great choices, depends on what you like or need right now, on this trip. For me, Sorrento (and AC area) are always more of a vacation for walking, being on the water, and great scenery. Florence is more about looking at Art.
Florence is closer to Rome so takes less travel time than to Sorrento if that is a concern.

Yes, concur with the sentiment of this thread, take a look at this website for some convincing of the beauty of Toscana.
