If you want to be a network admin i'd skip OSCP. Security+ is ok for a general understanding of security topics. A better security read than OSCP would be

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

I think comptia are waste of time and money unless you are enrolled in WGU and they want you to take it.

any ccna or ccnp. Also, lab it.

Net+ is probably a waste of time if you have 3 CCNAs, unless you have a particular job in mind where they specifically ask for this cert.
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.
