Letters of rec need to come from those who can properly recommend you. I graduated in 2007 and am applying for fall 2010. My letters are coming from 1 prof and 2 supervisors previous jobs. I could have gotten another professor, however a professional recommendation from a former colleague who worked with me on a daily basis is going to be better than a prof whom I barely know.
If the grad student worked with you and knows your capability, then their letter will work just fine. The main meat of your applications are going to be your resume and your essays.
