In my experience, top management see PMP practices most suitable with legacy projects and Agile/DevOps with latest technologies like Bigdata, Web applications. Looking forward to your insights on right choice. Saving Changes...
All totally different certifications. But as certifications go, the gold standard really is the PMP. Saving Changes...

PMP fits for all type of practices (Lean, Agile, etc), all type of life cycle models (predictive or adaptive), all type of life cycle process (waterfall, iterative, etc). In my actual work the same person is assigned to more than one project using more than one environment at the same time. But certifications is a matter of future market demands (in my personal opinion) and you have to have your own estimation to decide about which to take (at least is what I do). Saving Changes...

In the context of your question, it comes down to you; your goals, career path, interests, needs of your organization, career opportunities, etc. I cannot tell you how to shape your career, though, if you provide additional insight into your background, needs, and ambitions, we certainly can provide our opinions.
Why limit yourself. Go for all 3? Saving Changes...

To my personal opinion, I PMBOK Ver. 6 comprises management of Agile projects. So to update ourselves to the latest PMBOK will definitely take us to the next height.
More or less, in the coming days, there will be lesser & lesser gap between Technological & Managerial functions ie they will go hand in hand.
It means one must be ready with Techno-managerial advancements. We can not ignore any one.
PMI-ACP is one of the certifications which combines Project management with Agile Framework.
DevOps is more towards technical side.
As said earlier, there is definitely no harm having extra knowledge.
It adds to our managerial edge, provided you are in the same field. Saving Changes...
Are you referring to practices or to certifications? If the former, then pick the right tool for the right purpose - certain projects will lend themselves to an adaptive lifecycle while others will lend themselves to a more deterministic one.
From a certification perspective, start with what you are interested in doing and then check what credentials are referenced in the job postings for those roles.
