Though I havent seen that any of the Certs has made a difference in the job prospects... They have been been a great conversation piece though!  
The chicks dig letters!

This is from a guy that has had a ton of certs over the years, and when it comes down to getting the job or billable rates it seems that they don't make that much of a difference except for the CCIE and that one does make a large difference in billable rates etc. Sure, I look at certs, but I look to real world experience much more. I think that the certs would be a lot better if the people had an actual lab test like the CCIE.

The RHCE and RHCT also have labs. I looked into them but I had a terrible experience with the online training I got from RedHat and got a refund so I think I am going to go with Linux+ instead, it more accurately reflects my limited Linux experience so far. I got a CCNP a couple months ago and just finished the Pix Firewall Specialist. I am working on the rest of the CCSP now and probably going to get a Security+ since compared to the SECUR exam its easy and I get a discount.

CISSP, CISM, CISA, etc.

Cisco certs are always a plus as well.
