You should also consider the OSCP from Offensive Security
(www.offensive-security.com).  It's a lab based cert exam and worth
looking into when comparing the certs you mentioned.

I'm looking to get certification as a penetration tester but, I'm torn
between which would be the best fit.  I work for a large company that
deals with about 70% DoD, 20% military and 10% commercial.  Although
I'm not doing cleared work currently, a lot of our contracts involve
TS/TS with a Full Scope.  I'm currently looking at ECSA from
EC-Council and GPEN from SANS.  I've looked over some of the actual
material briefly from EC and it seems decent.  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.  There may be more certs out there that are just
as worthy, I'm just not aware of them.

Thank you
