Some possible candidates:

  C-c ` (backquote)
  C-c TAB
  M-S-TAB (M-BACKTAB)
  C-TAB

Some rules for guidance, which you appear to be using already.

1) Don't use key bindings that Emacs has already claimed.

2) Try to follow SLIME, when the capability provided is the same.

3) Consider following the recommendation in the node "(elisp) Keymaps
and Minor Modes," which is, for minor modes, to use C-c plus a key from
a list that it provides.

4) If you are anticipating a group of similar capabilities (in this
case, "completion"-related capabilities), consider giving them the
same prefix.

My suggestion is to use 'C-c `' (backquote) because it follows the
rules above, unless and until Geiser has a group of completion key
bindings that need a common prefix.  (There is the risk that some
day one of the other minor modes, for example, paredit, would use
the same key binding.)
