I'd say that you can use both grid and mesh since they do not describe the electrical properties in a Nixie, just the structure of the Anode made up by a grid or mesh structure. But in a thermionic valve they describe the control electrode if you use the word grid. In a thermionic valve you usually se mesh being used for describing the anode structure surrounding the cathode and grid, like in the EF86 which come in several different types where a few have a mesh Anode. Old patents use both mesh and grid to describe an Anode surrounding the digits and they then mean the structure of the anode and not the electrical properties like in a thermionic valve, that has already been explained by using the word Anode. /Martin
