This is more a unix type question rather than redhat

How could I set permissions on a directory so that the files place
in it by other people have the exact permissions I want them to
have when created?
You can't. The best you can do is to use umask.
As you say, files created in directories with the sgid bit (and in any
directory, irrespective of sgid bit, on some systems) inherit the
group from the directory.
