I've always figured that for the angels it wasn't that they didn't have free will, it's that they never use their free will. They follow orders and it just doesn't occure to most of them that making up their own opinion on something is an option.
Which it kinda isn't if you look at what happened to Anna and Castiel. Doing anything but following orders is highly frowned upon.
I think that angels have to have free will though. God isn't around to give the orders so someone has to be giving them. Presumably Zachariah and his buddies. They have to be coming up with the orders somehow and that implies free will.
