Depends on your experience, if you don't have any, I'd go with the N+ instead of the CCT then go for the CCENT.I am a Jack of all trades, Master of None -

I recommend just going straight to the CCENT. It is entry level exam, goes over the basics, and gets you right into how to configure routers/switches (very very basic, it doesn't expect you to have any prior knowledge of how to) and setting up simple networks. The Net+ isn't horrible, there is definitely overlap of info between them, but the ROI of the cert is horrible, it won't mean a thing when you get the CCENT and alot of it is memorizing facts that you can check in seconds.

CCT is better than the A+, but if you are starting your cert training, it might be better to go straight for the CCENT and be one level higher. -

Having all of them CCT (RS,DC,TP) and also four CCNAs i could say :
if you want a "pure" tech job (hardware,cabling,models features ,maintenance,installation with few cli,basic networking)
then go for CCT , If you want to be an network admin [RS] go for CCENT (some CCT RS knowledge is include in it ) then CCNA
To summarize :installing equipment [CCT] or managing equipment [CCNA and beyond] ; you can see CCT like a Comptia A+ equivalent.
