CEH vs eJPT vs Pentest+ for a (relatively) newcomer to pentesting?

I'm looking to include some dedicated effort to honing my skill as a pen tester while carrying on with the rest of my studies. At the moment I am heavily invested in Cloud Security, specifically on the governance and compliance side of things, with a big focus on cloud infrastructure security, but I'm keen to take this up to add some variety. You know what they say, spice of life and all that.
In any case, I've been looking at these certifications, and the related coursework and material, and hoping to hear some opinions on which would be a softer landing for a "hobbyist" breaking into penetration testing?
TIA

@yoba222 , I will be paying for this myself, so thanks for highlighting this. I figured if I take to it, and I am able to add value in my current role, I'll get my employer to consider funding some of the later courses.
