They're all pretty common. I just met a girl who couldn't find her way around a word processor, but she claimed to have a CCNA certification.
The question is more what career path you're looking for. Don't get certifications just to fill your resume. Research companies in the industry you want, and the job postings will list what certifications they like, require, or don't care about.
If you've already got an "IT type job" and you're only looking into it for promotion, ask someone in a higher position or within HR what certifications they see, and what certifications they like.
I've never gotten a certification, and I was hired immediately for my current job. Traditional education (4 years) shows dedication, not that you took a few weeks to do a certification course. And overall, work experience seems to be the most important. They have proof that someone else found you useful and kept you around for a least a few years, so you can't be too horrible.
