If we decided the tonal centre was G, then it would be a mode of C. It would be easier to score with a key sig of C to avoid accidentals.

We don't know the tonal centre but who cares. Score what we do have yourself, what key sig would you use?

I would use C.

Re-reading the original post I see the poster knew this anyway so I take your point that we don't have enough to answer his question of where the tonal centre is. I would still say C though, we don't finish on G, that's the last chord. Em would end it - what's Em anyway but C maj7 without it's bass note?
