It sounds like you've got LOTS of experience, and you should be at a senior technical or management level depending on which direction you prefer. At that level, I wouldn't think that any of the __+ certs would be useful. The PMP cert is not a bad way to get your resume seen. If you are going the management route, I would think that a degree may be useful. If you prefer stay technical, then certs would probably be better.

I like the idea of always studying for something in a progressive path. Even if you dont plan to take the next exam for a year or more, it gives you something to do in during the slow times.

Cant have enough certs or experience.
Very true

But even more important than any off those is your interpersonal networking. I've gotten most of my work (the last six jobs over the last 13 years) through friends and acquaintances.
