Design exam question

Hey folks,
I'm trying to pick my design exam, it's the last one I need to take before I get my MCSE
Any thoughts on which one I should go for?
285 - Exchange 2003 Design
297 - AD design
298 - Security Design
Thanks in advance!

285 Exchange / 298 Security are more part of there selective specializations.
MCITP: EA
ITIL
CCNA
Studying:
MS press book 70-680
I've heard some bad things about 297. that it's a death trap
It it really as hard as folks make it out to be?
I'd go for the 298 next!
I am thinking about taking both though.
Once MCSE 2k3 completed:
WGU: BS in IT, Design/Management
Finish MCITP:EA, CCNA, PMP by end of 2012
After that, take a much needed vacation!!!!!
I'm not familiar with the WGU acronym
You can argue that if your company uses Exchange 2003 then go for 285, however I think sometime very soon you will have to move to 2007 or 2010 so you might as well start or pick up from there. You will be in a better position to upgrade your Exchange infrastructure.
I'm an Exchange engineer who works for Microsoft
I need to upgrade my exchange 2k7 certs to 2010 as soon as I finish the MCSE track (don't like studying for different things at the same time. I'm thinking that 297 is going to be more useful for me to be honest.
I thought the 285 might be an interesting path since I have migration/ co-existance experience including Domino, Groupwise, Ex5.5,2000,2k3 and now E12-E14.
But the more I think about it I hardly touch 2k3 anymore so it's not really that useful whereas I'm in the directory all the time.
Thanks for the advice!
