You could always dual-license. If you ask me, I'd suggest you go with CC0 if you don't care about licensing.

Two points to consider:
- The GPL was written with code in mind, the CC licenses with art.
- If you use material (images etc.) from other people, you have to honor their license terms.

Note that if you use works that are already one of these license, you must use changed versions of them under the same license. And it is hard to make a substantial mod (ie something more than a map) without reusing some of the original GPL'ed works. So you probably have to either make your mod GPL or part GPL, part CC BY-SA.
