1. What scale are you using?

2. What instruments are you playing ?

This is such a loaded question that you’ll need to add more detail or else the replies can get you in a rabbit hole

Which ever sound good to your ears.

Well what key are you playing in, and which note of the scale are you using for the Maj7 chord?
There's your answer right there.

Anything basically as a Maj7th is one of the most common chords outside of basic triads. It depends on genre.

Minor 7ths, Dominant 7ths, and half diminished 7th chords all belong to the Major scale so they are all fair game but if you get into stuff like Jazz, Gospel, just about anything. It's all in the art of chord choice, adding consonance, dissonance etc.
