Thing is that if you want to become a soc analyst, the sc-200 certification of microsoft forms a good basis. Next to that i would suggest getting the more general ones.

as a soc analyst you tend to be on a blue time side of things. Look for certifications that help you as a blue team member. You could also do a more mixed approach. This would then become a pruple team. I would suggest searching for certifications related to that.
