If you understand & can do that stuff then it'll suit you better as a network admin than OSCP will -

Since CCNA is vendor-specific you could branch out into other vendor certs such as Juniper, etc. You might also want to look into the VMware certs because virtualization is playing a bigger part in networking nowadays.
Out of the ones you listed CCNP R/S will advance your Network skills the most. Having good R/S knowledge will serve you well in other specialties of networking such as security or wireless.
