My advice would be the advanced switching class since advanced switches are
too expensive to buy for a lab and are ridiculously complicated these days.
The CIT class is good, but it's pretty basic. From the level of the
responses you send to the list, my guess it that you know most of it. Of
course, it's great practice because it's mostly hands-on, so it might be a
good choice for CCIE prep.
The CID class can be great if you have a wise instructor and students who
are knowledgeable. Unless this has changed in recent years, the CID class
is not hands-on but you get together in groups to work on case studies.
Sometimes other students can really help in the group; sometimes they can
be annoying.
That's my $0.02.
