I would imagine that that would depend on the position you were applying for, as a rule I would include all in my resume but if you were looking to call one out I would choose the most advanced one related to the job I was applying for.

I also wouldn't include the hours spent on each, that may just be me but speaking as someone who has done hiring it actually makes your certifications seem less impressive when I know that the time you spent on your CASP was only 20 hours. Someone who works in a technical position may be impressed that you completed some of them in the time frame you did, but often the first people seeing a resume will be in HR and they won't have any idea.
