I'd ask anyone I thought would give me a good reference.  Many
companies have policies that say managers are not to give refs,
either verbal or written, for their former employees, but few 
extend those policies to people you didn't report directly to, 
such as co-workers or managers whose projects you worked 
on but who were not your direct manager, or say not to offer 
opinions on vendors (if you worked 1099).

And even if someone can't provide a reference now, if they say
they would if they weren't restricted, try to get non-office contact 
info and keep in touch.  People change jobs all the time, and your 
former managers are no exception.
