We're thinking of using Phacelia tanacetifolia as it doesn't affect the crop rotation.
Does this sound OK, or is there another green manure better suited?

I know it may be a bit expensive, but see if you can hire a turf cutter (like they use on Ground farce) then you can stack the turf for making compost - well worth the effort.
