All of those certifications are valuable in the industry, but it's a very subjective area. I'd say what are you trying to do in the next 3 years? Moving into a specific area of expertise? Sys Admin, Network, Virtualization, security? Or are you moving more towards management or compliance? If so Six Sigma , ITIL, etc.... might be a good choice.
Some more basic information about what you would like to do over the next few years would help give you some suggestions.

First off to avoid the question and value of certifications; I tend to view them as resume garnish which helps get you by HR filters. The question is which to pursue? I think all of mine have expired and my new organization seems to place value on them. They have all the training stuff for 2003 but I am thinking that’s a little too old even though it seems to be in many places. One guy told me why not get it and then take the upgrade test for 2008? Redhat Engineer? Worth it? The ever present CCNA and CCNP. At the moment I am out of the networking areas but will probably reup. Vmware. Any value to VCP? Citrix? Any other areas?
