I make my tuna sandwiches grilled more often than not, but never ever with cheese. Just doesn't mix for me.
Shredded cheddar is actually quite good in tuna salad. Of course, it's really good melted on top too, so if you don't like that you won't like it mixed in.

Yes on the dill pickles/relish. Occasionally, like today, I skip the pickle and add giardiniera relish instead. I realize a lot of people outside of Chicago aren't familiar with it, but if you've ever had the spicy pepper mix on an Italian beef sandwich, that's giardiniera. When it's chopped up fine like pickle relish, that's giardiniera relish.
