Actually, if you are going with Zhonya's you definitely want Rylai's as well. In fact Rylai's is a must-have.

If you were looking for a 1 to 1 replacement on Zhonya's, the item I change it with iwould probably be Warmog's, although it is my last item. Why do I like Warmog's? The only thing that Warmog's is suppose to do is make me last 1 to 2 seconds longer. At which point my Will of the Ancients and 500 AP from the rest of my build will take care of the rest, without sacrificing my mobility. So my final build is usually something like. Boot's of Lucidity, WotA, Deathcap, Abyssal Scepter, Rylai's, Warmog's. I ussually start with Doran's shield and then sell it at the end for Warmog's. But sometimes I start with a regrowth pendant. .and keep it until the end. Other last item and Zhonya replacement candidates include, Thornmail, or QSS, depending on need.

Although, keep in mind, my mantra is mobility. Dominion has made it popular, but I have been a long time advocate of "Speed and mobility wins games." Consequently, most of the champs I play are fast (Poppy, Kennen) and/or have abilities that seriously hinder the movement of the other team (Veigar, Kennen) So any item that gives you self inflicted CC will not make on my list to use.
