Depends on the organization. Mine has been much heavier on Lean and buys into that philosophy, so I have the appropriate Lean certifications. I would definitely check to see which preference your organization has. If your organization, or the one you are interested in, doesn't have either Lean or Six Sigma I would consider going into Lean. There seems to be a trend of Lean over Six Sigma lately that I've been noticing. Both however, are similar in goals.
I do believe you get MUCH more value out of Lean or Six Sigma versus PMP. About half the project managers here have PMP. I don't have it but haven't really seen any difference between those that have it versus those that don't, especially from a career perspective. Another person above mentioned that some people with PMP are far more rigid and less flexible. I have also experienced this as well.
