Frozen Heart is the best option vs AD. Even if the enemy team do not rely on attack speed, its huge armor + CDR + mana are always great. Zhonya is great only for its active, huge AP for Elise is much less effective compare to other mages.

Rylais is great, I almost always buy it, though it is not a "must have" like sorc boots or Haunting guise. It's a really great item in mid game, though its effectiveness (of the passive) in late game big team fight can be questionable. Anyways, some AP & HP are always welcome.

Spirit Visage is of course the best option vs AP, though sometimes you might want Abyssal instead if you're ahead and snowball well. Generally in my final build (vs a mix damage team when both their AD & AP carries can pose a threat), there will be Sorc boots, Liandry, Rylais, Frozen heart and either Spirit Visage + Void or Abyssal + Spirit of Ancient Golem.
