The timing issuse in match TAQ trades and
quotes has been much discussed in the literature.

The latest recommendations, I believe, is

"to take the prevailing quote 2 seconds
before the trade as the prevailing quote
at the time of the trade"

from:

"How to Match Trades and Quotes for NYSE
Stocks" by Olivier Vergote, March 2005.

Anybody out there know of more recent results?

This one recommends taking the quote at least 1 second before the trade for TAQ data.
