I'm trying to install drawer guides in
an "old" kitchen cabinet.
What is the best way to determine a straight
line from the front of the cabinet to the back
so my brackets will align correctly?

Ruler, level, or make a template that aligns with something in the cabinet.

laser level

Do you just want a straight line or a straight line that is also
perpendicular to the face frame or cabinet front? If the latter, a
framing square works.

I'd use a level. I found the inexpensive ones work better than the
laser levels which can involve some fuss.

Right. A standard framing square has legs of 16" and 24", which works
out well with a standard kitchen cabinet's 24" depth. Stick a level on
top of the framing square to get your level line.

I use a cheap level that is magnetic and sticks to the drawer runner.
