Different people use different terminology, but, whatever name you call it, a rounded-back style deadlift is not recommended. A Romanian deadlift (10-20 degree knee bend, neutral back throughout execution, bending from the hip) is an excellent exercise choice for most general fitness clients. Sometimes people use stiff-legged or other names when they mean the same thing as an RDL. It all depends on where you learned the names.
For your situation, I wouldn't recommend any deadlift variation until you can control your core for the duration of a set. Planks and side planks come first, then core control with hip movement.
