Err, how about setting the correct permissions on the parent 
directory, setting the setgid bit, and correctly setting your umask?

Setting the correct umask in your .profile (or other shell config 
file) should automatically set the mode of any newly created file.

Setting the gid bit on the parent directory should force the 
inheritance of that directory's mode by it's children.

Or, am I misunderstanding your question?
