McKenzie Press Ups would be my first choice.
Planks and variations are good.
Gluteal activation stuff is important as is improving your hip mobility (let me know if you need specifics on this).
A good rule of thumb regarding if a certain exercise is good for your specific back problem is that if your pain is worse AFTER, then it is not a good exercise for you. It's okay if it "hurts" during, but not if it continues to hurt when you are done.
Goals for a healthy back:
1. Reduce symptoms.
2. Improve hip mobility.
3. Improve core stability (abdominals primarily, but back extensors as well if appropriate).
4. Improve gluteal action.
