Johnny, Let me be the first to say, "it depends..." From a design perspective, you want to want to take the reciprocal of the fastest rise time your system needs to support and use that as your design bandwidth. From an analysis perspective, Ask yourself what you are trying to accomplish. Case 1) you want to see the channel as you signal will see it. Then filter the TDR edge rate to match. Case 2) you want to find every discontinuity possible to get the channel as clean as possible. Then don't filter the TDR edge at all. But as others have already told you, you may get more detail than you want. Good Luck!
