This is a case in which the reflexive pronoun is correct. I would reverse the order to "Greg or yourself". The reflexive pronouns are not used unless the referent has already been used.

I saw myself in the mirror. This is correct because "I" had already been used.

Please give that to myself. This is incorrect because "I" had not been used.
