Depends on what you want lol.
If you want to work with Cisco go the Cisco route etc.

ou can possibly get the entry level certs for multiple vendors to have a good foundation

Personally, out of those choices, I'd pick Cisco or Oracle. But that's just personal opinion. What are you interested in? They kinda fall into three different fields...
Cisco = Networking
Oracle = Database Admin
Microsoft = System Admin

I like networking the physical stuff the logical set up work

You can start with Microsoft to get your feet wet from the user end and then I would go NOC to get the start from finish feel and then you can better understand the entire troubleshooting process. NOC though if you only want the networking side of things. I will be heading to that after several years as a system admin role.

I would definitely recommend Cisco since networking seems to be your specialty!!

Agree with DKG Cisco all the way if you are interested in networking.

Cisco is an excellent route for a vendor specific cert that also provides detailed networking information/understanding. To pass a Cisco cert you REALLY have to know your stuff, so it's great practice and even better if you are already doing the work. If by physical you mean cabling and related aspects, perhaps a BICSI ITS1 Installer is a good place to start, as they provide great training/study for the cabling aspect/installation.
