Does there exist a slicer that will let me pick a different infill pattern for layer 1?
For sure, slic3r and simplify3D don't offer it. However, there must be at least 20 other slicers out there. Anyone here know?

In slic3r you can select a part you are printing and go to settings (on the pop-up menu or toolbar). In the dialog box you can then click load generic and add a slab of an appropriate height. Select the resulting lambda-slab and click the green plus button below it. Select top/bottom fill pattern from the drop-down.
I've used this to make for example the bottom layer concentric and the top layer rectilinear.

Simplifed3D can do it.
Just setup a process for layer 1 and and a seperate process for the other layers.

Thanks! That is exactly what I want to do, and probably for the same reasons too.
