Secondly - I like Mill and Nietzsche for very different reasons. Nietzsche didn't have an ideology as such - but in a sense that was his ideology. "Hitherto, every great philosophy has been a confession on the part of its author." - that there is no universal truth and that our views, morality and prejudice are all signs of where we came from and our experiences etc. He valued original thought and longed for there to be more great thinkers who would challenge the status quo. You can't be a Nietzschean if you agree with Nietzsche - as all great pupils must reject their teacher in the end. Mill, on the other hand is more of a guide for a morality that fits in with Nietzsche's ideas - that there is no universals - with Mill, you make decisions on how to act based on very subjective means. Your intentiona are always to do the best by the most with added factors including your own sense of priority.
