Saturn has an eccentricity of 0.054 which is almost exactly the same as moon's eccentricity of 0.055. They differ by 1.5%. This makes Saturn's orbit the closest approximation of the lunar orbit.

Venus is pretty close in size, but the atmosphere of boiling hydrochloric acid will probably prevent any habitation for several hundred years even after the terraforming process begins.
