I do use a desktop environment on my VPS as I need it for some purposes. I was using GNOME on my existing CentOS 7 installation. However, it'd been lagging very much.
After the last OS reinstallation, I'll using xfce on my CentOS 7 VPS. I find it to be extremely light on resources as well as storage, and still much faster than GNOME (I haven't tried out MATE).
If you'd like to use a desktop environment, I'd recommend CentOS 7 with xfce as you're quite well-versed with CentOS, and it has a beautiful user interface, room for lots of customisation and supports almost everything you'd need on regular Windows PC.
