So, technically, you won't be getting your degree until September? Then that's what you should probably put. I imagine you're thinking that people will wonder why you are graduating late... but that will be easier to explain than writing what amounts to a lie on your resume.
People graduate throughout the year, so prospective employers most likely won't care. They may, however, ask to see a copy of your degree.
Just a suggestion, you might want to have a simple reason ready for why you missed the June deadline - if it should come up. Family emergency or something that they won't need to dig into, but doesn't sound irresponsible.

You can put which ever one you want but just clarify it.
For example, say "degree completed in June 2007" or "convocation/graduation in September 2007".
I had a similiar situation and my professors say it is perfectly fine to use either one but just to specifiy the date accurately. For me, I was in a different stream so my classes ended December but my convocation was June of the following year. My resumé says June.
Congrats!

Put June. That's when you finish. I am sure your diploma will say June.

September. If they ask for any transcripts, etc. you don't want to come across as misleading.
