Why do you want to complete the other certs? Is there something extra they will do for you that your current standing wont? If not, then go for your CCIE. If the other certs will open other doors for you in your current position (or in the seeking of another position), determine where you would like to be 1yr, 2yr, 5yrs from now and follow that path accordingly (ie, if you want to eventually become a CCIE in Security, then go the CSS1 route, if you want to become a CCIE in C&S go for the CSSP, etc).
Just my personal thoughts.
