Why just horizontal or vertical guide lines? why don't you introduce angular guides or perhaps a function like the one in illustratore "make guide" ?

This is an excellent point esoglobine. In the mean time, you can use path tool to draw your own, custom guides instead. Displayed Path will take a precedence when attempting Free Transform however. here's how to 'trick' Photoshop.

Select targeted Layer and select your Path 'guide'. Press cmd-h to hide the path, initiate Free Transform on targeted Layer - press cmd-h to view path again - continue Free Transform on the targeted Layer.

A little work around, but an excellent way to follow precise guides - without guides! 😉

YES! This is especially useful for two or three point perspective image composites.
