Jupiter would produce some impressive tides.

The moon at ISS distance animation is my favorite of the two. What a solar eclipse!

Saturn is nice. Who doesn’t want a moon with its own rings.

Mercury, Mars and Pluto are the only planets which could replace the moon. Venus is nearly as large as the early and has more than 80% of the earth’s mass, so both planets would be circling their common center of gravity (about half-way between them). Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all much more massive than the earth so the earth would be a satellite revolving around them.

Well, it wouldn’t take as long to get to Mars if it were as close as the moon.

You can not replace the moon with any of the other planets except Mercury or maybe Mars (Pluto doesn't count anymore as a planet)...

With Venus we be a twin planet.
With Uranus Neptune Jupiter or Saturn... Earth would be their moon

Wow. Jupiter light would be very bright, giving us almost no darkness and Saturn would be spectacular in the night sky. I vote Saturn, the heck with the tides. :)).
