Steve the loop B/W has to do with:

The available repetitive data rate.
Reasonable phase / gain margin for the loop filter.

Each of the various data transmission standards are different in the way 
that they can mess up a CDR, with the net result that many standards 
need very tall ratios between Fbaud and Fcorner.  Basically, you can 
easily achieve very stable operation by setting Fcorner = Frepeat / 5.  
With some care you can set it to Frepeat / 3, where Frepeat is the 
guaranteed lowest repetitive full 1-0 cycle.  For a pure 8B/10Q coded 
link, Fcorner can be as high as Fbaud / 30 and work well. 

As Chris Cheng has bemoaned, TIE and jitter in general both get worse 
with taller ratios as the VCO drifts ( or is disturbed by things like 
PDN noise ) over more bit intervals without the benefit of corrective 
feedback.
