Dear Madam:
Given your degree in CS, any of these credentials is a good place to start, but really won't do much to advance your career. That means you could go the Microsoft (MCP), Cisco (CCNA) or CompTIA (Network+) road, but none of those credentials is likely to add much value to your current degree and work experience. You'd be better off treating them as stepping stones to more advanced credentials (MCTS, MCITP for Microsoft, CCNP/CCSP/CCVP for Cisco, or something in the NACSE/NARTE family for networking stuff) than as destinations in their own right.
If I were you, I'd recommend a full-court-press job search based on your degree and work experience, from the standpoint that the combination of the two is already more valuable than any of the credentials you mention (or their combination).
Thanks for posting.
Ed
