With the original chords being G D Em C, how would you do it?

A typical example of what I would do would be
 
G                       D            Em                          C
GM7 CM7 Am7 D7 GM7 Em7 Am7 D7 GM7 C Am7 D7
 
 OR
 
G                        D             Em                           C
GM7 Em7 A7#9 D7 G7#5 Em7 A7#9 F#m7b5 C A7#5 D7 G

The top one is really good, I might have to look at the second one more.

I wanted to break it down to only one chord between chords. This is what I played today.
 
G           D        Em         C
G   C#7  D Bm Em C#7  C  F#m
 
Any comments?

Here's a snappy chord progression using your triads. 
In 4 time, two beats to each chord, or two chords to a measure.
GMaj7  Am7   DMaj7  Bm7    Em7  Dm7    FMaj7  CMaj7

It sounds best if the second chord of each measure comes in on the and of 2, not the downbeat.

It has a smooth jazz feel to it with the major 7ths...I'm still looking forward to a Coltrane change treatment on this progression.

OK, using G D Em C, try this:
/G7C7/   /Eb7D7/   /B7Em7/   /A7C7/   /Eb7D7/      and repeat
