Do you think ST writers will use the name Columbia somewhere

I bet Star Trek writers are going to use the Columbia disaster and name one of the shuttles to after Columbia or use it on a passing by starship.
They did that in TNG when Challenger exploded they named a shuttle after it.

In 2273, the Columbia was ordered to rendezvous with the U.S.S. Revere by Commodore Probert. ST1 The Motion Picture.

Also the Challenger was an Excelsior in ST6 and a Galaxy in a future VOY timeline under the comand of Geordi.

During the episode when Voyager crashed on that ice planet while testing its new warp drive.

He was referring to the Excelsior Challenger.

Would they do it in tribute or just to capitalize on the disaster, though? That's the real question.

How could they use it to capitalize on the name? To capitalize on something you need to, you know, make capital from it. Changing a ship-of-the-week's name to Colombia would do nothing to Paramount's profits.
