It's worth noting that CEH teaches damn near nothing about ethics, and the name implies that those of us that don't possess it are by definition, unethical. (see Jack's rant on that one).
For the most part, it teaches you to be a 'tools regurgitor' - showing you how to do things, but not why they work the way they do.
In short, CEH is a great cert to look for on a resume when you''re looking for people that can do particular repeatable work within Infosec - as an indication of creative, critical analysis skills within the field however, much less so.
(or basically, if you want a guy to run the companies internal vuln scans, it's great - but I wouldn't hire an incident response guy on the strength of a CEH).
