Proxmity Mines are treated just the same as other bombs in that regard. However, as for measuring templates... I'm not sure. It's a unique pilot's ability, so they don't really cover it in the rules, but I believe it's general practice that you declare what you want to do, then you are free to measure afterwards... but as long as you CAN do the action, you MUST do the action.

So for instance, if you decide you want to Boost, you can boost with either of the templates, but if you don't like where they put you, you can't decide to do another action. If you can't actually do the Boost due to obstructions, THEN you can change your mind.

But with bombs... I don't think anything will ever prevent you from dropping the token. If an obstacle is in the way, you just place it overtop. If a ship is in the way, you place it underneath (according to the rules). So I believe you can measure all you like, but you have no choice by to drop a bomb SOMEWHERE that turn.
