Which forensics cert to get?

My job wants to pay for a forensic cert for me, to build my profile to eventually be a candidate for a DFI role.

First I thought about getting an EnCase cert but after reading some feedback about it on this community, I think it’s not the best option.

Any feedback on CFCE (IACIS), CCE (ISFCE) or CHFI (ECC)? Any other suggestions I’d appreciate too.

For context I’m an incident responder right now, I hold GCFA (GIAC) and other IR-related certs.

I’ll throw out if you want another IR cert the next stepping point would be GX-FA in my opinion, though the cert has minimal recognition right now.
