Do you have to retune your Wide Glide after you put on some Vance and Hines slip-ons?

Not if slip-ons are the only mod to your air/fuel/exhaust system.

Your WG has a catalytic converter in the header/collector, so the slip-ons don't entirely open the flow.

If you still have the stock intake, and all you are doing is adding slip-ons, you don't need to re-tune your bike.

Would you all do Vance and Hines over SE or Rush?

That.

But Rush if you do Slip Ons. The best sound IMHO.
