I much prefer RDL's (with slight knee bend) and straight back as I'm very wary of my form with all types of deadlifts.

I think the way @Silverback; is describing it would be beneficial for the lower back strength but as with all exercises, starting light is an absolute necessity. I'd like to try this style, just thinking where I can fit it in as I tend to have a fair lower back pump after deadlifts as is. The lower back seems to be a tough one to determine the difference between working the muscle and injury.

Correct.

I think the spine needs flexion and extension, the lumbar extensors are like any other muscle and I think just 240 seconds a week is enough, you just got to be sure the the movement of resistance is right.
 
RDL is a much safer option for me in hindsight due to excessive lumbar flexation in SLDL (tight hammy crew checking in yo)
