I would say that Richard Hingley's Boudica: Iron Age Warrior Queen remains the best study of the revolt I've yet read. Hingley does opt in a kind of luke-warm way for Mancetter, but his book covers the background to the events very thoroughly.
There's also Nicholas Fuentes's excellent paper Boudicca Revisited (From London Archaeologist 1983). This is the one where he suggests a battle site near Staines. More importantly (I think) he convincingly demolishes the theory that Suetonius Paulinus rode down to London for a quick look around before heading back into the Midlands...
