Short Answer: Use a 27" wide cabinet for an inset/flush mount and a 24" 'proud' mount. The microwave is about 23.5" wide. A cabinet will be its total width, minus 3/4" on each side for the box. A 24" wide cabinet has a maximum internal width of 22.5". This varies again depending on if you have "euro" style or "american" style cabinets and how big the final opening should be. I'll leave those to you or your installer.

If the drawers are inset, then the draw itself is inset/flush to the face of the cabinets (much more expensive). This setup should try to inset the microwave too. This looks the best when done flush and looks the worst when drawers are inset but the microwave is proud. This is what happened in the above "installed incorrectly" post - it wasn't installed wrong, the person has the wrong cabinet size to fit the microwave flush. If the drawers are full-overlay, then the drawers are 'proud' to the face of the cabinet. If the microwave will be 'tight' to cabinets to sides and bottom, then a proud mound may look good - instead of flush to the cabinet face, the microwave could be flush to the drawer face. If everything is nice and tight, but you inset the microwave, then the microwave will look good (flush to cabinets) but maybe awkward not flush to drawers (this is my setup - not by choice).
