As far as the cheese goes, my first impulse is something like Fontina or
Havarti - which may be a tad bit softer than Jack, but have a similar
flavor to my mind - I find Jack relatively mild.  And you can always chill
or lightly freeze a softer cheese to firm them up for slicing, grating,
etc.  On the subject of Montery Jack, I recall some years back finding
(after reading about it in Gourmet) a version of an firm Jack, aged and
hardened like an Italian grating cheese.  I think it was a small California
company, and I only saw it a few times - it was excellent, though - grated
on top of something like roasted, stuffed chiles, or black bean soup.
