What cheese goes with pulled pork?

Any of your favorite types of cheese will work on smoked pulled pork nachos! We actually find that using a couple cheeses add a great depth of flavor. Our favorites are freshly shredded monterey jack cheese, Mexican cheese, pepper jack cheese, cheddar cheese, etc. Even dairy-free cheese options would be great!
