The best IT Certifications?

[Virtual Bison]

To my knowledge the Cisco MCNE is the gold standard in IT Certifications. Everyone seems to have the Microsoft MCSE they are like a dime a dozen. The Novel CNE used to be worth a lot but is hardly used anymore.

As for CompTIA's suite, well its ok I guess but its too easy.

Or maybe using Brainbench (which is no longer free but is still cheap) is the better route.

Anyone have any opinions on this?
