I'd urge you to recast your research in any of several ways. You can visit www.certcities.com and check out their yearly "Top 10 Certs" list. You can also visit www.certmag.com, www.gocertify.com, and various targeted certification magazines (like www.mcpmag.com for MCPs, www.tcpmag.com for Cisco professionals, and so forth) and read their salary surveys and demands predictions. You're asking me to either summarize or perform an awful lot of research to answer your questions; I hope you don't mind my ducking, and pointing you at more and better sources for such information than I can provide off the top of my head.

While you're looking don't forget to check the various SearchNetworking and other TechTarget surveys as well, too!
Good luck,
