Hello Chris,

It really depends on your desired career path.  What are your goals?  I would recommend either LPIC or CompTIA Linux + because they are vendor neutral.  The CompTIA cert is now a life time cert unlike the LPIC which requires recertification every 5 years.  Hopefully LPI will reconsider that its an expiring certification just as CompTIA recently did.  Personally if they don't I'm not re-certifying.

Best of luck,
