Hi

I know about Java certifications. So would answer your questions with respect to Java certs.

1. It's your wish where you wanna go. Like deciding whether to take up humanities or commerce or science.

2. It depends on your level of pepration. Though I have heard Cisco and Java certs are a bit though. Java more so because Sun only allows a select few prometric centers to administer the test.

3. I guess coupled with experience they would be great without it you would get an edge.

4. Websites(forums etc.) and books were study sources.

5. Depends on how you study.

I would say the best the thing is that you would gain a lot of info when you prepare for the certification.
