"preemptible" is more common in the literature, although not overwhelmingly
so.  It's also the only one that appears in the OED.  I'm not sure I'd say
"preemptable" is actively *wrong*, because "-able" is a productive suffix
and can just be used with arbitrary verbs, but we should probably prefer
"preemptible".
